Great fun to drive, though the 2nd gear synchro was worn out, and you had to double-clutch to downshift from 3rd. Got pretty good at it on some neighborhood curved streets
My first car was also my favorite, because it was tough, versatile, and quite fun to drive (not as fast as the MG, but that couldn't haul a full-size drafting table, either.)
