I have had a few over the last decade. The first one (blue) is a 77 MGB that had a 3.4 V6 with a 5 spd and A/C in it. Was a Texas car. It was sold to buy this 69 MGC with a factory 6 cyl and 4 speed. Nice highway car until I got in an accident and they wrote it off. Also owned this 1971 Triumph Stag with a Buick 231 V6 and turbo 350 in it. Car had factory power windows, A/C and tilt wheel. Think if I would have had that one first I wouldn't now own 2 MGB's the last picture and the yellow roadster we are restoring. Good thin the wife is a gearhead like me and we were fortunate enough to buy a house with a 4 car shop 25 years ago when it was affordable.
I had a 74 TR6 I still have a few things here I think I have a set of seats out one.. I also Had a Austin Healy in about 1974 I put a 327 in it .. It was a total unsafe car to drive at least for me I had trouble with my foot stuck to the fire wall to often.. I will need to come back and revisit this page ..I have a little story that happened to me with the cops and that car..I have had a few british cars and I too many mini's ..

I've had this little turd about 40 years. Stuck it in of our barns about 30 years ago. running. Pulled it out last summer - not running of course. Washed off the grime and it doesn't look too bad. Hope to do some tinkering this summer. ( Hi Don)
Yeah, probably could Don. Problem is, I couldn't bring myself to sell anything. I've had our rides so long it'd be like cutting off an arm. Truthfully though, we have 3 kids( all young adults) - 3 Homes - 3 old cars - 3 old bikes - 2 old tractors( need one more).....see where this is going?.....
you never sell anything until it is forced upon you.........that is why we all have so much neat stuff :)
for you sports car guys, here is a MGA I spotted at a cruise night last year down in North Carolina..............hmmm strange engine to put in there...........
That's pretty cool Dave. My youngest just told me a couple days ago he spotted a '64 Volvo wagon that would tool along nicely when powered by Hayabusa....I couldn't disagree.
