Great photo Bob.

Well! its here, talk about a step back in time, even though its a 1978, the overall design certainly does feel 60's. The brakes work, only just... better than the Capri I looked at the other day lol. Its gonna need another respray, its been resprayed already, but very badly. Oh Did I say what colour it is?


Its ORANGE


I didn't blow the budget, I was pretty much getting put off from buying one, as all the 4k and 5k MGB's we looked at all had issues, cosmetic and mechanical, its quite frightening as to why these cars hold their price TBH.

I wonder how long I will keep it for? I'm either going to love it, or hate it??? First thing to sort out is the MOT, it don't need one, but previous owner put in for one last week and it failed, nothing major, seems to be solid underneath, apart from o/s rear sill area which was its main failure.

My thoughts so far... I'm wondering WTF have a bought?

She is piggy in the middle.



She has some new parts, brake master cylinder, some sort of carb set-up refurb etc.
