Cool!! I had a '67 Bus back in the mid-'70s. I was very successful at
turning it into a rust-bucket with very little intervention on my part.
I'd suggest a B-GT also (or actually a Midget which is a better babe magnet).
The bus was fun to drive, but in a much different sense than an MG. I used
to use the term "gathering speed" instead of "accelerating", just to give you
an example.
There are 32 MGB-GTs listed at

and you should also check out
http://www.mgcars.org/class/search.html
for lots more.
Good luck!
