Until 2 months ago, it had been 35 years since I owned my MGC, now we have 3. Love It! Our 1st road trip, from Alabama,down the Ocoee River to South Carolina. Beautiful back country, seems made for these great little cars. A very special "Thank you" to Ben Pender, M.D. KLASSIC AUTOS, who took the extra time to make sure we were road ready and to Tony Barnhill who, so quickly, got us the items we needed and for "The List". We took it and used it to contact Martin Rouser in Knoxville,TN when we heard a clunking in the rear end somewhere. He immediately helped put us in contact with a garage. Along the way, our LBC seem to heal itself and doesn't clunk anymore.

We never thought driving would be so much fun again. We met so many nice people who stopped, and reminisced about thier own MG many years ago.

What fun to be driving an MG again!

Aint' it great!

I was in the same boat (no Brit-street car) for 10+ years until two weeks ago when I got ~my "new" '69 MGB~ on the road.

Drove it 340 miles this weekend out to the Duryea Hillclimb in Reading PA. Along the way, lots of folks talked to me in gas stations and rest stops with lots of folks giving me a "thumbs up" as they passed (including a passing group of about 20 Harleys).

Yep, they're great fun!
Nice car!
 
And it really does look new.
 
& I've seen it in person...they're gonna have fun with it while their GT is getting back on the road.

Glad the trip was a blast!!

{Somebody did a real good job of folding that top & putting it under the tonneau; you'd never know it was there...hehehe}
