I have owned a 1973 MGB since 1999. During high school, I purchased a 2 year old Triumph Spitfire. That started my relationship with British Cars. My MGB was purchased as a restoration project and I did about 80% of the work including gutting the interior, rewiring, and installing new interior. It took me about 2 years to complete the restoration. While I showed the car, I enjoyed driving it often, especially in the mountains of western NC. At the time we were living in western North Carolina and there were many other British car owners. We were members of a large British Car Club and really enjoyed the club. We moved to Indianapolis in 2004 and found out that it is not a British car area. Last summer I start what I am calling a re-restoration and have been repairing and replace areas that need it. Looking forward to making new friends on the Britishcarforum.
