Would this by chance be British Sports Cars in San Luis Obispo, with Peter
H. Jurgens, proprietor? He is (or was?) indeed a very nice British chap,
good for a chat and very good with the cars. It has been more than 10
years since I was there, but I have some nice pictures of his shop and the
cars he was working on at the time, all top quality stuff I assure you,
with the cars and the shop being always spotless. I was first attracted by
a Mini Cooper parked on the street (Peter's then daily driver). Then I
have one picture with a AH 100-4, a Ferrari (shhh), a Jag XK120, a rubber
bumper MGB, a Lotus Elite, and an MGA coupe all sharing the same side of
the room. Across the aisle is a TR6 and a XKE coupe in for maintaince
work. In the front showroom there was a XJ6, a Mini Clubman, and several
other classics looking for new homes. I was told that he had sold no less
than six E-Type roadsters in the prior ten days, some his own and some sold
for clients. We should all be fortunate enough to have a shop like this in
the nearest town. If this is the place where you bought your MGB, I think
you're in for many happy experiences, and probably not much problems with
the car.
