FIA cars vary between 16-25k and works cars are 50-75k this is in line with Mini Coopers and Lotus Cortina's. By Comparison 26R is between 60-90 depending on history. I have raced an MGB round Pau and Spa and found it to be a pretty easy car to drive - everything is very progressive and I can understand why people use them in the 6 hour race as they are not demanding to drive. My only gripe was the rear diff seal going both times I drove it and oil getting into the rear drum making it (especially round Pau) somewhat exciting!
Al seems you have been a little unlucky with you cars or they have not been particularily well prepped!
