I once rode to high school in my older brother's 77 mgb. He was in the Navy and had left it at home for my middle brother to drive while he was away. Some years later the 77 overheated and he coasted into a car dealership and traded it in. In 1996 he bought another, this time a 75, and drove it for a few years before the brakes went out and left it parked in his garage for twenty some odd years. I purchased the 75 B June 2020 and retrieved it from his garage using a tow dolly and took it home (400 miles away). I have replaced many, many parts and have it road worthy again.
Cheers.
