I have a data base for o-rings and packings if that helps anyone. My expertise is aviation which has a lot of cross-reference with autos.

Love hate relationship. Some of the engineering is amazing and some of it is just WTF? We've had both an MGB and a Discovery. My dad always had Jaguars and Rovers. The problems were always either carburation in the older vehicles or electrical in the newer vehicles. It was inexplicable.

Ive always shunned any car I couldnt fit in comfortably, that includes the entire lineup of small sports cars. Like the vette, austin healy and mg.
I dont get the attraction, they are uncomfortable, tight, ride worse than a pickup truck. shrug, to each their own.

I never tore down a carb in my ole days with "Jim's shade tree auto repair and destroy" until I first put a nice load of ether through it. It was not easy to obtain in the 50's it might be impossible. Welcome Mechanic.
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....
Some of my favorites are widowmakers. ^
I never cared for the midget, or that MGA (is that the first photo?). I like the MGB because it looks great and performs well, despite the smallish engine. I kinda feel like James Bond in it. Mine is candyapple red with black interior. Had to get it reupholstered and new carpet on the floor. A fender is fiberglass. Other than that, it's mostly original and looks like new. I went for the '69 because it was the last year that was all-chrome (no rubber).
I never noticed how similar the Midget and Sprite are.
