You would not want a MG-F, they sell for buttons over here in UK.
They were a mismatch of Rover parts bin mentality favouring a 20 year
old engine design. ...

Gee, Adrian, that description sounds a bit like most postwar Triumphs
(substitute "Standard" for "Rover"). ;-) Although in fairness, the
wet-liner four was only about 5-6 years old when it was somewhat
suitably modified for use in the TR2, and the original 803/948cc that
evolved into the Spitfire's motor (and the GT6/TR6 motors) only dated
from about 8-9 years before its first appearance in a "sporting" car.

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
