Perry,
I agree with everything said above. It is a cool car. One (important) thing to make sure of before you commit your funds is make sure you fit. I don’t know how tall you are or your inseam, but one of the reasons I don’t have one (or a TD or TF) already is I don’t fit. My legs are too long and in my mind’s eye I can only imagine people seeing the combo (me and the car) as a clown car wannabe because I also sit really high and my head sticks up (too far) above the windshield line.
I’m still playing with how I fit in my MGAs; the adjustable steering wheel is all the way forward and I am still adjusting the seat foam to make it work comfortably (I have a really thin one that is perfect). I did a 500+mile round trip in my ‘57 and didn’t feel crippled (maybe a little more folded than I wanted) afterward, so I’m making progress.
Good luck and I hope you post your progress and pictures of the car somewhere for is to enjoy
.
Cheers,
Eric
