In 1973 I purchased a new Damask Red MGB Tourer and loved it. My wife and I drove it from Salt Lake City to San Francisco on our sunburned honeymoon in 1975. We sold it for a down payment on a home in 1976. In 1977 we purchased a non-running, BRG/rust MGBGT. It took a little work from my friendly neighborhood MG mechanic to get it running (that's a story for another day). Drove the GT for two years and then put it in the garage. It sat in the garage for 10 years then we sold it to a restorer. My wife and have always wanted another MG. We have had a succession of Mazda MX-5's and currently have a 2004 MazdaSpeed MX-5 as my daily driver. We recently found a 1974.5 chrome bumper MGB almost identical to the 1973 except no overdrive. I'm not much of a mechanic (I have however done brakes, timing belts, water pumps, radiators on the MX-5's) Looking forward to learning and relearning about how to maintain and care for the current MGB. I appreciate the resources available on this forum and am looking forward to new friends and experiences!
