Comment by Douglas Gaither
My dad has owned this car since the early 1990's and it has been a fantastic car for him. It was always reliable and ran great. As a result, this car was always the measuring stick when I was building my 1966 MGB. He has had it listed on the MG-Experience classifieds for a few weeks and received a few responses. My wife actually prefers the comfort of my Dad's 1973 MGB, So although I have a V6 project car in the wings, today, I decided to buy it myself as a Father's Day gift. I have my father to thank for my interest in MG's. His first experience was when one of his army buddies bought a TC or TD. Later on, he purchased an MGA. After he purchased this car, I bought one of my own to rebuild. I don't know if the V6 project will get completed. But starting today, I have two beautiful MGB's that are ready for road trips! Thanks Dad, you're the best!!
