oooh! Very nice. We have a 1980 B we have been working on for two years. Looking forward to the day it drives further than up and down the driveway.

Howdy Emma,

"Welcome" to the Wonderful World of "LBCs" (Little British Cars) on "THEE" best Brit Car Forum you`ll ever find.

Emma, Did your Dad buy it for "You" or for "Himself"? Of course; You`ll both enjoy the ride regardless of whose it is.

Have Fun & Introduce Yourself, Dad & Your "B" to the "MG Forum".

They would love to see pics of "Your" car.

Best Wishes,

Russ

Vehicle Identification Number. It can be used to tell the "born on" date, what was factory installed equipment, color, etc.

Welcome to the forum, too.

...and the cat is great. thumbsup

It's found on a metal tag on the car when you open the driver door.
