I have a history with MGs dating back to 1980 when my folks bought their first MGB…a slightly scruffy looking, but smooth running 1965 B. After that car, my family acquired 2 1973 MGBs, and I was lucky enough that one of those beauties became my first car.

Fast forward a few decades, and I’ve now returned to the MG family. I just recently bought an absolutely gorgeous 1973 MGB GT with only 35,000 miles on it. The previous owner had owned it since 1978, and had been a meticulous caretaker if it. (He kept it absolutely original, but I’ve got some tweaks in mind for it to improve the driving experience.)

I also have a 1964 Triumph Spit6 and a 1994 Rover Mini. (And a very patient girlfriend who tolerates this foolishness.)

Looking forward to reading up on others’ projects!

Welcome! sounds like great cars (we love pics)

When I read your title I wondered if your recent acquisition was one of the original MGBs that Sir Walter Raleigh brought with the settlers to Roanoke Island? But alas not. :LOL:

seriously, glad you are here

The car and I are both old….but not quite that old.

Thanks for the greeting!

(And I’ve attached a few pics…hopefully)

Gorgeous! :love:

I have never seen a GT with a roof rack like that - it really works!
