Thanks guys. Ed, I'll forward your info to her. I think she's already joined the MG Club of DC.
We talked about the lack of power and she's considering some upgrades if it bothers her. I tried to steer her to a Miata but she is an artist and the classic aesthetic is what she was after. This will be her local cruising car, particularly when her oldest gets his license and starts using her Prius (yeah, I know). I don't absolutely hate the rubber bumpers, but I'm not fond of the raised ride height or the "easy way out" changes they did to meet EPA requirements. This particular car is exceptionally clean and only shows 35k miles - which I can believe due to it's condition. Its only cosmetic flaws are the beginning of the "crack of doom" on each door and a bent trunk where some one attempted to close it without releasing the stay properly. Both of these are common and can be remedied. Otherwise it looks and drives like a well-maintained 2 or 3 year old car.
