[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]Hello all,

I have currently been mulling over purchasing an MG or a TR6, having always loved the look, the lines, the absolute originality of design.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]Call it a mid-life crisis, bucket list item, or just plain desire but the thought has been with me for a long time.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]What I wish to know, if you can assist, is [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]what would I be looking for while inspecting one of these [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]fine cars?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]Do they come with disc brakes, or drums?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]If drum brakes, is there any 'kit' or the ability to transfer the braking system over to disc?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]Not sure which models have the overdrive(unless they state it), so that to brings about a want in the car.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]Some do not come with the wire rims; so [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]would be curious as to what wire rims would be the best for them, as well as what tires would be the preferred make and size to have the performance a vehicle like these deserves.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]I am also[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif] a true Canadian driver, which means all seasons[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]. so winter tires; what would be recommended for these vehicles?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]As you can tell, I am literally studying what is required, what to look for, what I should be listening for on a test drive, etc.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]I have looked at a few, and wonder if you could give some information as to the overdrive asked about, and any other help, if it is at all possible.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]I would be extremely appreciative of your assistance, and thank you. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,sans-serif]My list, with what info I have, is here:[/FONT]
