Haven't had a driving MG since the mid-seventies.
Bought my first MG in 1965, a 1952 MG-TD. Between 1965 & 1968 when I went into the Air Force, I acquired a 1955 RHD MG-TF and a 1959 MGA Twin Cam.
Got married while in the service and while I was in Thailand, my wife bought a basket case MG-TD that she and my father rebuilt and put on the road. A little after that she found a basket case MG-TC. Later after I got out of the service, picked up an MGC-GT with a small block Chevy in it.
Over time they all got sold off, with only my original TD remaining in the family. Got the bug again, but wasn't ready to pull the TD out and play with it, So started looking at MGB's, found a solid runner 1965 MGB for a great price.
Have started taking care of some of the little things that need fettling after 50 years & unknown previous owners. Think it's somewhat appropriate that the MGB is a 1965, since that was the year I bought my first MG.
