I was 16 and my girlfriend's brother had a beautiful black 65 MGB and I
wanted one.
Hey Bob,
I have the opposite story to tell. My only real early experience with
British cars came when I was driving a brand new 70 Plymouth Barracuda. Here
comes Beverly's sister Mary Anne into the drive with a brand new MG Midget.
Beverly had a 68 Mustang. I tried one time to get into that midget and
said, yuk! Little did I know that one day (1980) I would be into the 76
Spitfire 1500 as my sportscar of choice. A buddy of mine had a 77 MGB that I
ran
circles around. Too bad for him for the 77 B's were the ones with the bad
camshafts. That car was a home for the homeless mice for decades. The
1500 is still going strong.
Darrell
