I was 16 and my girlfriend's brother had a beautiful black 65 MGB and I
wanted one. Then I sat in her sister's boyfriend's TR6 and decided I
had to have one of those. I ended up breaking up with her because I
wanted the car and couldn't imagine how I could have both. I finally
found a '69 for sale for $900. Despite warnings from my father who had
gone through the same thing with my brother and a Renault Caravelle, I
bought it. It was amazing how much rust that car had sustained in its 7
year life (Pennsylvania). That was the first of four sixes. I might
have had another but my wife is wearing the money for that one on her
left hand. She also benefited recently when the money stash I was
saving for the Ratco frame went towards the 20th anniversary present.
