I have been a English sports car lover since my dad bought a 1962 MG Midget for me when I was 17. What a wonderful car. I think I pushed it further than I drove it. But that little car, as abused as it was by its previous owner, kindled a fiery passion deep inside me that after 45 years has only grown more intense. Maybe it's the smell of the leather seats , the wind blowing through my hair (currently not a problem), the normal squeaks and rattles or even the constant aggravation provided by Lucas, Smiths and SU. Whatever it is...I am addicted to it!
My love for English sports cars has forced me to purchase numerous MGs, Austin Healeys, Jaguars, and even a Bentley. Oddly enough, my enthusiasm has not always been shared by my spouse. But I think she loves me more that she hates cars.
Recently, I purchased an 1969 Austin Healey Sprite that needs absolutely nothing. I'm just enjoying the ride! Not a week later I bought a 1967 MGB that needs to be restored...and the fire burns on. My wife seems to think I need to sell one of them but I think she's just a bit annoyed by the loss of her space in the garage.
Over the next several months, I will be restoring my MGB and posting step-by-step photos and descriptions of the work as it progresses. I hope you will check it out and let me know what you think. Suggestions are appreciated.
