Hi all, I'm new here,but not to British cars. My first was a 61 Bugeye Sprite, on which I learned to tune Skinner-Union carbs. Stolen out of my driveway, it was replaced by a Mark 2 Sprite, then by a 65 TR4A, then a 65 TR4 which was my daily driver for four years - many years ago. I had a mint TR250 for a few years, on which I learned how to make tiger stripe hoses (use high temp yellow tape) and then over the course of seven years I built a very early 1962 TR4 into a show car, and won the VTR and TRA concours in the TR4 class. Then I got into serious track driving, but that's another story.
However ---- I've never owned an MGB, and that's my next step, and why I joined the BCF. I'm currently trying figure out whether I can live with the rubber bumpers on a Series 4 I intend to buy. We shall see. Maybe I can parallel park behind an SUV with the top down, and not worry about it like I did with my concours TR4. If I close the deal on this car, my first step will be double Skinner-Unions, and yes, I've read the thread on it here. They'll fit, but it's tight,and HIFs are preferred over HS4s.
Rule Britannia!
