Got the MGB out of hibernation today

[Vandelay Industries]

Got her cleaned up and out for the first official ride of the year. The first "unofficial" outing was a few weeks ago to get an inspection sticker.

It's always a work in progress, but there doesn't seem to be any unexpected problems after winter storage. Hopefully the weather will cooperate more this year than it did last summer....

Can't be a real MG. No smoke and no flames

I should have taken pics of all the charred wiring I replaced.

Fun little cars! I’ve had 3, 2 1967s and one 1973.

My sis had a '66 MGB-GT. When it ran, it was a fun car to drive.

Oh yea, BRG of course

Don't like that color scheme?

Interior's changing to black & red--already redid the seats with red leather.

Don't want to jinx anything, so I won't say a word about how it's been running...

My dad had a '64. He'd always make one of the kids ride in the back. Cruel and inhumane punishment

My first car when I turned 16 was a 1973 MGB. Burnt Orange. I wish I still had it.

I love those little British sports cars.
Had a HS GF who had a Triumph Spitfire. Many good memories of that girl, she too was a little spitfire.

I had a Blue/blk ‘75, from ‘81-85.

What a horrible little pos! The dude I bought it from really screwed me….somehow he had it running fine. A day after I got the car home, the burning oil smoke started….Cars behind me would pull around screaming, get your muffler fixed! 😆

Not long I had to rebuild the 4 banger, but had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I did get it running drove 30 miles worked all day then on the way home she blew up on the PA Turnpike….when I got around to dropping the oil pan it was filled with metal debris…. Then the car sat til the old lady had enough gave it away for 100.00…..

Shortly after I bought this in 2020 and while I was still working all of the electrical gremlins out, the car died at a red light. Turns out the fuel pump relay had a bad connection.

I got out and started to push it to a parking space when a couple walks by on the sidewalk. The man ran over to help and when I thanked him he said "No problem, I know the drill--I used to own a Triumph."

I really like the look of the TR-4.
