I had my '78 MGB out for the first day last Friday (first day of Spring). Had to trickle-charge it to get the battery up, but then I drove it for at least an hour - drove great. Today (Monday) I went

Thanks to the numerous suggestions to look at the starter relay, I remembered something about an ignition relay in the glovebox. The maybe not-so-D PO had a new Lucas ignition relay with the note mar
