Mid-1960s MGB, I can dig it. Your story brings to mind one of the very few things that I have ever coveted. :-)

“Mid-1960s MGB, I can dig it. Your story brings to mind one of the very few things that I have ever coveted. :-)”

Learned a bunch of mechanic-ing from that car. Rebuild-able shock absorbers, simple carbs, short rebuild (3 of 5 crankshaft bearings from underneath in an afternoon), and reverse polarity Lucas electrics (of course it would be!). Great times. The missus loved driving it, and could get into as much trouble with it as driving out of trouble.

Oh yeah, it was red!

Cheers,

KYPD
