How young do you have to be to get excited about LBC's.
In 1963 my dad had a Morris Minor that I got to take into Odessa Texas to do
tune-ups because there was nobody in Lamesa Texas that even knew what the car
was, let alone work on it. I was 16 and the shop I took the car to was a
Triumph dealer.
I saw my first Spitfires there and did several back flips before I regained my
composure. One was Black and the other was white. Needless to say I was
hooked.
I have had two MG's in the proceeding years, but never got a chance to do a
restoration until recently. I decided that the car I wanted to restore was a
Mk1 Spitfire. I searched high and low and Finally found the car. It was not
much to look at, but there it was, my childhood dream. The rest so they say is
history.
