My name is Keith and i've been collecting British cars since the early 1980's. My first car was a complete basket case (I didnt even know if all the part were there) 1960 MGA 1600. I did a complete restoration on the car. It has been a driver (as all my cars are) but back in 1987 it did win 1st Place at NAMGAR's GT 12 in Seattle. In about 1986 I found a 1955 MGTF 1500 in the SF Bay area and purchased it from the original owner. It has sat for 30 years in my garage or shop and I began working on it around 2016, more seriously in the last 2 years. It is currently a complete rolling chassis with zero body work done. The body is next. Next I purchased a 1967 MGB GT "Special" in 2015. I put the MGTF on hold while I did a comprehensive upgrade to the car. The only things I didnt rebuild were the engine, transmission and rear pumpkin. Otherwise, if it could be renewed or replaced I did it. It is now a driver. At around 2014 I purchased a 1969 MGC. I trailered it home from New Jersey and cleaned it up. It is now an unrestored driver and I have plans to restore it in the future. Most recently I purchased a 1955 Austin Healey 100-4 BN1 and a 1959 AH Sprite from the estate of a car collector who bought various cars and then he stashed them in a series of barns, dowble wide mobile homes, metal storage buildings, etc. To my knowledge he never drove them or serviced them. The 100-4 was in a barn for 45-50 years. I'm in the process of cleaning them up and evaluating them. I'll keep the 100-4 (It'll need A LOT of work) but the Sprite will be sold. I've joined the Forum to help (I have lots of MG background) and be helped (I have zero AH background). Keith
