They tended to rust, even more so than most British cars. Sometimes the starter can fail to retract and make you think the engine is frozen up, but that's an easy fix. I'd be glad it doesn't have wire wheels--they can get out of round and there's very few people who can work on them anymore. I've had a couple of "B's" and generally MG's are pretty reliable if properly cared for. There's a place called University Motors in Grand Rapids (last I heard) that works on nothing but MG's. People ship MG's from all over the country to have them work on their cars. But if it's good to start odds are you'll be able to fix most stuff yourself.
