My neighbour has one and it looks the goods. Sounds like an interesting project - something different.

A Weber will make it impossible, or difficult at best, to get both an air cleaner and a speedo cable on. You will probably need to trim the speedo opening in the fire wall to fit an air cleaner. A Weber will also make plenty of induction noise and you made find that the car will also get the smell of petrol inside. Look out for a pair of SU's from an MG Midget or a Cooper S, much better option in my opinion.
