If you haven’t purchased your MGB yet, get on and do it! They are a great starter classic offering great fun, plentiful spares and specialists to help if you are unable to maintain them yourself, together with two large owners clubs too.
My first classic car was a 1975 MGB GT Jubilee purchased in 1994. It had been restored to a great standard previously and during my six years ownership was little trouble. It started my own classic car journey which has since included a MG Midget, two Triumph Stags, a MGA Roadster and a Mercedes 190E!
Currently I’m running a 1971 MGB roadster and a 1974 MGB GT V8. Both cars are easy to own, drive and enjoy. The added power of the V8 surprises more modern machinery and makes a great tourer. Submitted by Richard Gill
In 1980 I bought my first MG – it was a 1970 MGB GT in Flame Red. I had it for several years until it went to that great scrap yard in the sky.. may she Rust in Peace.
Five years ago I bought a 1972 MBG Roadster, finished in Tartan Red with chrome wires. She has been restored using a new shell and she is truly beautiful! Submitted by Alan Weyman
I still own a 76 MGB GT which is an early rubber bumper model. Bought it blind from a guy in North Cumbria who hadn’t used it for years apart from the annual trip to the MOT station.
Decided it would be fun to buy it and drive it home to Kent to test it (6 hour drive plus stops) apart from a leaky fuel tank and a snapped fanbelt 10 miles from home it never missed a beat. Now after a bit of work it is mechanically tip top.
Although I don’t use it as much as I should it never fails to fire up at first time of asking. Great fun affordable little sports car. Keep thinking of selling due to lack of use recently but can’t seem to let it go. Kind of attached to it! Submitted by: Paul Larkin
