It has a really nice seat. I bet you could drive it for a long time.

It's a fun ride, but the maintenance costs are notoriously high.

Nice car! I always liked MGBs. This one seems to be a fine example. Would make a great daily driver.

I thought $4K sounded high for a MGB... but looking at eBay I see $4-$8K and up... wow, just wow.
