Hi Folks... Once again, after at least 25 years, I'm an MGB owner! A long, long time ago, I owned a 1966 roadster. After that, a 1972. A couple of weeks ago, I saw, right down the street from where I live, a 1965 Iris Blue roadster for sale! Beautiful driver! It looks mint, but upon closer inspection, you can see it's a driver (not daily), albeit a beautiful example! Runs great! The last owner, silly guy, drove it 1,000 miles in 10 years, never in the rain, and only had the top down once!! The top is down now!

I can see I'll be spending a lot of time here! Lot's of good info! Already, I have found solutions for my "extra" dim panel lights. The car is largely as it left the factory, has the 2 battery positive ground system, etc. And of course, all the infamous Lucas electrics! I'm sure those will have me coming here again and again! LOL

Well... looking forward to some good weather this weekend. Hope everyone has the same!
 
Welcome back to LBC ownership, and a special welcome to the Forum.

:cheers:
