Dear UK car nerds...
It's been a long time since I've sat in a MGB GT (~1996) and even longer since I've sat in a Mk1 Capri (~1983).
How do these cars compare to one another when sitting in the cabin?
Does one have a better feeling of quality?
Does one feel more comfortable for a six foot tall person? I don't remember feeling cramped in either but that was decades ago and 40 lbs lighter. Ha.

@fxworks@weird.autos MG feels more old fashioned, less plush, and is more cramped than the Capri. Fit and finish is also generally better on the Capri with much better noise insulation. If you want more of a grand tourer experience go for the Capri; want more of a fun b road blaster experience, the MG. The MG generally feels like a lighter and more nimble car than the Capri too, and you do feel more vulnerable on the road because of it. My taller friends tell me height isn't an issue with either car.
