Here's a link to the one I was looking at, it might not be a sports car, since its 4 door. Doesn't matter though, don't have the time or the money or a garage to do the swap in.

If you are worried about insurance and mileage I would suggest a compact truck with a 4cyl 5speed my insurance quote was 1000 dollars a year cheaper with a s10 over an altima but my insurance quote was extremely high so it may not be as drastic.

Yes yes yes!!! 350/700R4 and cruise! You may want to gut the wiring and throw an american harness in there though, the british are notorious for junk electrical systems. My Mom's 96 Land Rover was a testement to that fact. I also got an ex a 74 MG that was my first experience with hand making a wiring harness... never again!

I worked on a MGB for someone quite a bit and learned alot about lucas wiring. Even if someone hacks one of our truck harnesses up it is still easier to fix than a MG.
