That thar is a Land Lobster; luxury wideness from BMC with floaty hydrothings and the heaviest straight six in christendom. I've read they handle indecently well for something that length due to the hydro suspension.911 Turbo LE said:

Shares its engine with the MGC don't you know.It has 75,000 miles and is mint. Never out in the rain his brother tells me.

Given the power a tuned MGC can make I've often wondered how much fun you could have with one of these. Probably until you got to the first corner if you didn't fettle the handling and brakes too I suspect!
Before anyone labels me an MGC hater I've had five of them over the years and would have another tomorrow if the prices asked hadn't taken such a jump in the last couple of years.
Look forward to further updates on this one.

I remember the 1800s being a very comfortable ride so yoyrs should be even better
stuff you probably don't want to hear at the moment but as you mentioned the tyres, regardless of their tread depth if the tyres have seen a lot of use and/or are old then replacing them will improve the braking, suspension, steering, handling, ride and noise comfort - http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html
