NICE! Is that a 1968 or 1969 ... ??
I had a 1970 BRG MGB-GT. Yep, a fine machine ...... iffen you could get past wondering how the 2 side draft carbs could get out of synch sitting in the garage overnight ... ??
Oh yes, the electrical fires. I only had one ..... big one. Back in CT, I was driving in my rural neighborhood when smoke came rolling out from under the hood. I popped the hood to let out the Lucas smoke, then it really flamed up.
A neighbor was trying to put out the fire, while I was ripping out the back jump seat and unscrewing the covers to the batteries to disconnect them. He yelled ....... it's gonna blow ....... but I kept on at disconnecting the batteries. It didn't blow .... it just had a meltdown.
Yep, pushed that machine home, replaced a bunch of wiring ..... never did figure out why it caught fire .......
Got to go ...... finish my oatmeal .....
