Fuel consumption:
I swear it's true! I *once* got 29 MPG from my 'B. This
was on The Trek Out West (moving from Arkansas to California).
Crusing at 85 to 90 in the Arizona desert. The car ran a little
hot, but not too bad. Maybe a DCOE is a happy carb when it's
opened up.
Or maybe it was just the desert air...
Ugly paint:

Yep. Never know what folks will do to a poor MG. There was some fellar
what painted a couple of 'em funky, one dark green with a bright yellow
chin panel and the t'other dark green with a red chin panel. They
were all modified and stuff, non-original body panels and other
unspeakable acts. Heck, he even went so far as to give 'em a
non-stock name: MGC GTS. ;)
When I was very young, my dad had an *orange* Bugeye, and his best
bud had a *purple* one--late sixties/early seventies. They used to
drive 'em side by side in one lane, must've killed the eyebones of
hundreds of poor drivers.
