Beautiful MG ! I love the old Brits. Nothing like long weekend, a roadster and a winding country road with your lady at your side.

Well done,Sir.

Thanks guys, hopefully it will be reliable this summer. So far, it's only let me down once. The previous owner put on a modern alternator conversion kit with relays for the lights (good thing). He didn't put the ground to the relays on a good spot and the wire warmed enough to partially melt the plastic fuse holder. We were driving on a lonely WV road last September, top down. I looked up, saw the sky full of stars and remarked to Liz how beautiful the sky was. The headlights winked out at that moment. We drove home with a 2 D-cell maglight over the windshield (still had brake lights...). Fixed all the grounds that weekend. I did buy a windcap for my pipes, so who knows, I may give that a shot, with a proper British pipe of course!

You must get a proper British cap too.

Now all you need is some tweed cloths.Or Turtle neck shirts.

Maybe one of those single eye glasses. oh also a dog. Topper comes to mind.

Got the dog, but lacking any fine tweed clothing... This was when we picked out our Christmas tree, it was warm enough we drove the MGB. The farmer owner said "your going to put a tree on that?".....
