Fanrgs, any road good enough for a MG is plenty good enough for my TV.
Just to clarify, we took the MGs on the paved High Park Road, not on the gravel Gold Camp Road. We try to stay on paved roads when driving top down to reduce caravan dust for those unfortunates bringing up the rear!
As for being near a mechanic, anyone with a car that old is his own mechanic. Plus we travel with tools, extra parts, cell phones, and, when we are not near a cell tower, 2-way radios in the first and last cars. The club trip last fall covered 1,200 miles in Colorado and New Mexico, which doesn't include the 50 miles traveled through the gold aspen-covered hills by "train" (Galloping Goose #5) on the C&TS Railroad.
Since you are an English car buff check out this one. 1946 Hillman Minx Drop Head Coupe. It is what I learned to drive in. Up until 1981 it was the family one & only daily driver & the oldest car in Bermuda.
