Joe,
I had an MG with a cruise control and have a kit I'll be installing on my 
TR6. The older you get the more you'll appreciate them on those long trips. The 
key is to use one with an electric servo as opposed to a vacuum. You'll also 
want to be choosey about the control arm, being careful to keep it looking like 
it belongs there. There are also some nice looking dash mounted slide switches 
available as an alternative to the traditional stem mount.

There's a company in Laurenberg, North Carolina called Rostra Precision 
Control (NFI) that makes a great cruise control kit with an electric servo. For 
example, the Resume mode has a gradual acceleration as opposed to the hard 
acceleration you normally find on aftermarket systems. They make a lot of OE 
cruise 
control stuff for Detroit and some of the Port of Entry offerings. 

Keep me posted on what you do for a control arm or switch, as I haven't yet 
decided how to mount mine.

Steve
