I sold my MGB on the 1st of March (2022) to a couple of enthusiastic young men who I know will take good care of her.
I will miss my drives and just seeing her in the garage but it was time to let her go.
We have bonded well, I absolutely love driving her and she draws looks wherever we go (as she should too). As a beginner in this field, I spent the better part of last week putting spacers under the right engine mount to help alleviate the proximity of the steering universal to the distributor. In RHD Mk II's, this is a known issue as the rotating universal joint can actually wear or pull on the plug leads. So much to the extent that it has actually pulled #1 right out of the dizzy socket. Hopefully that is fixed now, although they are still quite close.
I am hoping to take her to the Australia Day Rally at Ormiston School this Thursday. The club I belong to (Bayside Vehicle Restorers Club) hosts the event and we are expecting more than 500 vehicles from all over the country. Unfortunately, the weather for the last few days has been bloody awful and we have had lots of rain causing local flooding. There is no let up in sight. Time will tell. I will still attend and help out, but if we still have torrential rain, the Bstays in the garage.

Then checked out a 1972 L model which is a pretty good unit overall. Nice and neat, no rust that we could detect but with a few little things that I will change if I am able to get it. I'm pleased, just need to discuss a few things with the current owner and then I'll do my utmost to bring her home.

Will be looking at two MGB's next weekend. A '69 and a '72L. Hopefully one of them might be "the one" for me?!
