Now understand that this is coming from a fan of Triumph and MG motor-cars. These were Leylands products, grouped together by c. 1970. My first car was a 1969 MGB, lovingly restored by my own hands...and fixed every Wednesday, it seemed. I baby-sat another BL product, a Jaguar E-type 4.2 drophead coupe (convertable) and maintained it for some years. However, for something that I actually wanted to work properly, with minimal maintenance, and not to do annoying things like break down in the middle of a field I WOULD NOT BUY A 1970 BRITISH LEYLAND PRODUCT FOR FREE!!!! In 1970, Coventry and Birmingham were beset by labor (labour) problems together with financial difficulties. This caused workmanship that was below dismal... If you're prepared to re-assemble, re-fit, and essentially re-do the construction of this bit of vintage British machinery, then more power to you. If not...well, John Deere and International and Ford built great machines during the same years.
