Lifelong desire met

Hi Forum Folks! So, life long desire met, you ask? Short version. I had a neighbor next door who had a Triumph TR (4/6 not sure) . I was about 14 YO. I loved that car so much. He took me for rides, let me help clean it, etc. As I turned 16(driving age) the neighbor's family grew. So he offered the car to me and my father. My Dad said I would kill myself in that car, so no! Alas, my dream shattered. So at my ripe age I found a 1966 MGB. It needs a good rectification from body to motor, but seems a sound platform to start with and TR's are way to expensive now. In advance, I thank all of you for any sage advice, help, sources, and visits at the insane asylum. Looking forward to learning, and driving the "B"
 
Welcome to BCF. I got interested when my parents got me a 1955 Jaguar MkVII as my first car, a high school graduation present. They figured that big car would protect me from damage, even if I got hit by a Greyhound bus!

A 1966 MGB - that's a good choice to get back into the hobby. We'd sure enjoy some photos if you get a chance.

Here's our MG area:


You might even find some sage advice there!

Showing your age Tom, My Dad brought home a 57 XK 140 my junior year, drove it as much as i could. Mom said I was stealing it. When I graduated high school I bought a 57 Chevy. Good purchase jtull01.
 
great choice and glad you are here - welcome!
 
Welcome!

'66 was a transition year. Is the B a "pull-handle" or button door? Our '65 has pull-handles and my first one was a '66 with same and a five-main engine. That one was only a couple years old at the time so it was still as it left Abingdon.

Anticipating posts and photos in the MG forum! And again, welcome aboard, jtull01.
 
Nice to have your dream fulfilled finally! Welcome to BCF - you will find our MG forum very helpful I'm sure!
