Looking to buy an MGB GT
Discussion
Hi guys,
I am 19 years old and looking to buy my first car, as I've been borrowing my parents' cars before hand. I didn't want something like a Saxo or Corsa, like everyone my age, but instead thought about getting an MGB! I attend many car shows where it will fit in perfectly, and I will cherish it a lot more than I would if it were some modern hatch thing.
Obviously, this is my first ever purchase of a car, and being a classic, I know I'll need to get more clued up than I am now. So I was wondering whether anyone could give me some advice for what to look out for when looking at them.
I would like an MGB GT, and am looking around the £4k mark, which I believe is enough to get a clean example. Ideally I would like the chrome bumpers, but it's not a necessity if a nice rubber-bumper variant comes up.
Of course, if you have one for sale, if you could let me know that'd be great. I live in north Hampshire, so I'm looking at this kind of area of the country.
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Just PM'ed you.
Thanks guys for all your help, I have taken lots into consideration!Oh, and Elephantstone, you mentioned you PM'ed me, but I cannot find any PM. I'm not that familiar to PistonHeads, so that may be the case, but I hadn't received any email or message on here.
