MGB MGB trailer @ NAMGBR

[aeronca65t]

Last week was the NAMGBR event in Parsippany, New Jersey very near our condo. I would guess that Kim and some other BCF-folks may have been there, but I'm not sure.

We were going to Ocean City (MD) that morning for a weeks vacation, but I slipped over to the event at 6 AM to see if anything was going on. There was lots of "the faithful" already up and drying off the cars from the previous days downpour. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I got to talk with lots of interesting folks, some having made very long drives including a middle-aged gentleman from Texas, a senior-citizen MGBGT driver from Wisconsin and so forth. I even met an MGB'er from Maine who knew our John C. ("coldplugs").

Wish I could have spent the day, but the beach was beckoning!
Lots of "pull-handles" including a concours robins-egg blue '64 roadster (a second very nice similar car may have also been a '64....it had full-wheel covers that I think were an option back then)
Anyway, here's a collage of a few cars that I saw:

This remarkable "MGB-trailer" with matching tow-car was very well executed. Six wire wheels in all!

A nice selection of cars, I would say.
That trailer is very, very, nicely done. I really like the front end treatment. Someone spent a lot of time and effort on that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The tailpipes on the trailer are a nice touch.

Very nicely done, impressive trailer.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif Nice!

Here's another one I saw at the 2003 San Diego British Car Day. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Same basic idea, but this one used two rearends. One Chrome bumper & one Rubber bumper and both trunk lids opened. Lots of attention payed to the little details makes for a nice award winning presentation at a show & shine.

Both are kind'a cool, but green one looks like it has more room, I think I like the headlights on the white one.

You can't really see it in these pics but... extra touch... the cars lic# is 63 MG and the trailer is 1963 MG.
The whole thing is well done.

I have also seen a "Midget trailer" similar to the green MGB trailer that Bret has posted (towed, of course, by a Midget). Saw it at Moss Britfest 5 or 6 years ago.

Gee, maybe these things are the next big fad in LBCs.
I just want to know?.....Who was the first person to say "Hey, lets build a trailer out of two halves of an MG!".

Also, I wonder if it feels like you're being tailgated when towing that white trailer? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Only if you turn on the trailer's headlights! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have a collection of MGA and MGB trailer photos but my web site is currently down.

Like the trailers!! Had a neighbor who made a barbeque grill from a Midget boot. The hatch opened up and it worked well. Just an idea for readers who have and extra car and extra time.

Sorry I missed seeing you there, Nial! Did you see my B in the parking lot? (Like you could find it amongst all those fine-looking Bs.) Was Carl French the guy from Maine who you talked to?

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately -- Normally I'd have put together an album by now, but just have been too busy with other stuff in my life.

Anyway, yes, it was a raging good time!
