Ever notice when your looking over the steering wheel of your Mini's onto the hood how it looks like the old MGB's of the 70's?

 

I SURE DO!! I HAVE A 1967 MGB THAT I HAVE RESTORED. IT GETS 40 MPG. ALSO A 1976 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE MOTORCYCLE. LOVE THAT ENGLISH TRANSPORTATION!! ORDERING 2003 ALL BLACK MCS. :smile:

 

In the late 60's early 70's I had 3 MGB's, a MGB GT and an MGC. All I can remember looking for/at was a mechanic.

 

I've owned MGB, MGBGT, TR4, TR4A, TR250 TR6 & an Austin Healey 3000.
The Healey was the best......but my 2002 MINI S.....is a real close 2nd :smile:

 

THANK GOD THE NEW MINI'S DON'T HAVE LUCAS IGNITIONS!!

 

I had a '67 Austin Healy Sprite, and the guy at the parts house charged me a $50 cover just to walk in the door! But, I sure did love that car, when it was running, of course...

 

'67, '71, '73, and '80. Someone is still driving my '67 and the others were bad seeds. '67 was BRG, wires and OD. Sweet and I'll never forget it. And that is more than I can say about my first wife :evil: although one of my "old friends" may still be driving her.

Search that item # on Ebay for an MGB.
From the looks I'd offer about $800

 

i know this may sound kinda strange , but i used to have a '74 chevy vega...and the look down the hood line reminds me of the mini!

 

Thank goodness that what you see isn't what you got....

LMAO...ya no kidding....it was my first car...!
hey great ideafor a new post...what was you first car!

 

Another British car fanatic here... back in the day, anyway. First British car was a TR7, followed by 3 MGBs - 2 '69s and a '72. There was also a TR6 and a Spitfire along the way. The red '69 B was it for me... leather int, wires. The TR6 was probably the nicest of the bunch, and never left me stranded like the others. I don't see the MGB view from my MINI. I'm 6"6", so with the seat all the way back and in its lowest position, I don't see any of the exterior of the car at all.
