Is that MGB GT a ’72? I can’t see the bumper or wheels well enough to be sure. Looks fantastic though!
MGB Gt 1975. Many years of hard work, each day is a adventure with new problems to solve, but good fun.
I had a ’72 roadster thirty odd years ago- first love! Except when I tried to tune the dual carbs myself- epic fail!
I did the same, stripped them down cleaned them up, messed the up. Gave up and phone up hometune, sorted. Had this car for 10 years and I don’ think I will ever sell it.
Mine moved to Texas with my dad in 1985 and he traded it for a sailboat in ’87. Thus began a ten year rift…
sorry for taking you down this old path, I hope all resolved itself in the end.
It’s all good. That path is so well worn, it no longer holds any longings, or regrets, or surprises. It has been trod in all weather and every time of day, with company and alone. It’s like a favorite shirt that is too tattered too wear but too memory laden to throw away… And now I’ve started a poem that disproves my point! You may be seeing this theme very soon on my blog…
I look forward to reading it.
Plastic not chrome would be ’73 right?
I think 1975 was the change over year from Chrome to rubber bumpers.
