I really relate to the MG. I learned to drive on my older brother's 1952 MG TD. It was black with a red interior. I don't remember if the interior was original or if he opted to put the red one in himself. I soon learned you had to be prepared to deal with a few mechanical gremlins, but it was a fun car to drive.
That's true of almost every British car I've owned/driven/worked on. One fellow told me, as I commented on the oil leak in his [make and model withheld to not cast further aspersions], "It's OK. It's just marking its spot!"
