The paints surface quality also extends to the engine compartment and underside of the car.
The drivetrain is original to the car and all numbers matching. It has had many internal enhancements that allow the car to keep pace with modern traffic. The 1250CC engine was professionally rebuilt in 2007 now has the correct seals for modern gas, to 1 compression ratio, orted & polished heads, arger valves, istons and hotter cam. The engine is balanced and blue printed and theengines oiling system was also enhanced with better designed oil pump. The oil gauge reads 80 PSI when cold and 60 to 70 PSI when at normal operating temperature. The crankhas the modern rear Scroll Seal from Moss Motors, o it is not a big oil leaker.

The transmission and rear end were professionally rebuilt in 2007 and shifts nicely and has no usual noises. The rear end was converted to the 4.3:1 rear end gearing that allows the car to maintain an acceptable RPM range and keep pace with modern freeway traffic. The car achieves 3500 RPM @ 60 MPH, 800 RPM @ 65 MPH and 4,000 RPM @ 70 MPH, ossible 100 MPH @ 6,000 RPM.
The MG's cooling system has been enhanced and is running a clean stock radiator with an electric cooling fan, oss Motors water pump and modified original thermostat set to open at 70 degrees Celsius and the restrictor plate, edline wetter water. I drove the car last week on a hot, 5 degree day on the freeway at 3800 RPM for 35 miles and the temperature gage stayed under 90 degrees Celsius.
The cars steering, uspension feel good at highway speeds and breaking systems are all like new and in order. The car has new 165 radial tires and stops quickly with no pedal fade, xcessive movement or unwanted noises or raddles. The car is surprisingly fast and corners well.
