    Every year of SABB after the 1960's looks like a variation, rip off of a Brook Stevens Phoenix car design from the early 1950's.

    I remember reading the workshop manual and they made a point of saying do NOT grind the crankshaft. they must have felt that this engine was on the limit.

    Only the British could destroy a company like MG , now the Chinese own it and understand that it requires the workers to work and not be on strike along with something the Brits failed to do , make the electrics reliable and stop body corrosion .

    Why would I do that? The Collectors Edition with a manual had a completely different engine. That would lower the value of the car and probably negatively affect performance.
