Only sold it as I got out of it all I wanted, mine was a 100/6 with a fast road motor. All the usual suspension tweaks..Great fun car. I think an MGC might be a similar proposition.

maverick noun
1. an unorthodox or independent-minded person.
2. an unbranded calf or yearling.
Origin mid 19th century: from the name of Samuel A. Maverick (1803–70), a Texas rancher who did not brand his cattle.
- & just to add a bit of background information on the car ...
I bought it in the early 2000's from Don Ahearn (Porsport) & imported it to the UK then subsequently sold it to Brian Burrows shortly after he'd moved to France in ~ 2006 (?)
Brian added the stripes & fitted the Recaro replica sport seats.
