Well, I used to have an MGB GT back in the seventies. Great car to look at then, and easy to work on (huge engine bay, plenty of room). Four speed box with overdrive on 3rd and 4th.

Great on the open road, but the bloody gear ratios for 2nd and 3rd were about a mile apart so driving it in town was a real pain. And let's not mention the clutch...I always said it was the car that put the strain back into driving (and no, there's was nothing wrong with the clutch).

Mind you, as Dave hints at, it wasn't a patch on the All-agro. I drove my mate's down to Paignton one time (from Wednesbury). Simply awful. The square steering wheel didn't help...worst car I ever drove by a long chalk.
