The MGB (pre- black bumpers!) was a great looking car. The engine was somewhat lacking in power unless fettled. The MGC was of course a death-trap because the 3 litre straight 6 engine was too heavy and unbalanced the car. The variant with the aluminium Rover V-8 had plenty of oomph, but if I remember correctly it didn't arrive until the accursed black bumpers had been fitted...
