So I've been scouring ads for MGB's (and the occasional Spridget) for more than two years, have driven several, and have pretty much given up. Then this evening a 71 Spit appears on craigslist for a reasonable price. But I know nothing about the cars! Well, I've tried to glean some information and I think I know the 71 had the slightly redesigned body, the modified rear suspension, and the 13XX engine. (I can't remember the exact displacement.) And I appreciate the good engine and front end access, but that's it. Did it have just one Stromberg carb in the US version? Are there any areas that demand close inspection? Any more information/correction about the 71 would be appreciated. Thanks.
