My ex is flying a 1930s Stearman aircraft.  Works just fine in the 
automated air traffic system.  The plane has no electrical system, but
she has a handheld radio and a transponder in a little box with a battery
that she straps under the back seat before taking off.  Without the 
transponder she is almost completely invisible; there is a little primary
radar return from the engine but because the aircraft is all wood and 
fabric the radar cross section is smaller than a flock of geese.

If we have an automated traffic system for automobiles, you'll see the
same sort of thing.  Portable transponders that identify the vehicle
position and squit that they are not under automated control so that 
other vehicles can leave extra room around them.  They'll work fine on
your MGB.  Which is more than I can say for the rest of the electrics
in those cars.
