MG's, Healey's, Triumph's, most British cars of that era (post early 1950's) were 12 volt cars, although most were positive ground. Batteries were big and heavy. Manufacturers tried to mount two 6 volt batteries, usually behind the front seat, near the rear axle, to use the batteries to better balance the car. My experience with big Healey's was the later cars went to one 12 volt in the trunk, like any modern car, but still positive ground. If you re-wire with one 12 volt, even if just to drive it around the neighborhood, DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY. You can do serious damage to several components, generator, some wiring, starter, dash components, etc.
