If you can get one that someone hasn't hacked , spliced , stripped , tapped & jacked with the wiring you'll do fine  . Seriously , the wiring isn't anything to be scared of . It's simple & easy to fix correctly . When there's a wiring problem , look for dirty connectors - that's the main issue we see . People don't give MG's the credit they deserve . They CAN be reliable little cars . We have many customers that put loads of miles on their cars without issue .
Disagree away!  I in no way what-so-ever could qualify to be an expert. I just go with what I have heard, stereotypes so to speak. You have probably forgotten more about these cars than I will ever know!  And thats perfectly ok with me.

It is interesting to hear the s/c isn't worth the $$. Again, I just thought the coolness factor was way high. But if I was doing a restoration, I woudl do my homework and probably draw the same conclusion you just pointed out.
