one wheel up, The two cars chaseing are both sprites, The closest one is a sebring special sprite. The otherI think is just a front conversion as these cars have very poor aerodynamics by todays standards.

dam emagdnim, you seem to know an AWEFUl lot about these cars. my bro had a 71 MGB and to be honest, i hated that thing. whenever you went above 60 you thought it was gonna blow up.

Yep that sounds about right. They are very tempermental. Because almost everything is mechinical stuff just wears out so if you don't stay on top of mantenice they can do some strange things. Nowadays though theres lots of stuff avaiable that help modernize them and because the sprite and the mini share the same engine(differnt drivetrains) and many other componets theres tons of aftermarket support.
