Wow....That brings back some memories.....>>>
of my very first car, a 57 MGA. Of course that was 49 cars ago. I sometimes have dreams of finding it in exactly the shape I sold it in 32 years back.......
This ones incredible in it's level of original preservation. If I had a few extra bucks and a few less cars............ah well.....

Yea, the VERY first car I drove was a newly restored twin-cam
I was 15, and the owner showed me the joys of waiting for the pressure to get up before driving and the 4-wheel drift.
In retrospect, he was nuts to let me drive it!

I used to "borrow" my sister's. It would not start on dewy mornings until the sun dried it out......
She would ride to work with her girlfriend and my brother and I would wait for the sun to do it's job and then go for some great "rides" we probably put more miles on that car than she did!
I think the only reason she tolerated us driving it was because we also took care of most of the maintenance. It was my first and most memorable driving experience I was 17 at the time. Set the wayback machine to 1970.

Beautiful, but I lived through the nightmare of owning
two English roadsters; a 1963 TR-3B and a 1967 MGB.
Terrific fun but between the SU carbs and the electrical glitches, they nearly drove me crazy!
Anyone familiar with a Unisync tool? ;o)

I've had three MGB's... '68, '70 & 80. Sidedraft carbs were replaced right away with
Downdraft 62/46 DGAV Weber... Added electronic ignition module and was mostly trouble free.
The '80 now has a 4.2L FI Range Rover V8... but that's another story !
