Rubber bumper beauty buggerers

Get a Miata instead it is the modern version of Triumph/MGB . Drop dead reliable with good performance and great handling . Plus real world AC and a plethora of aftermarket parts available . And no need to carry a recharge of Lucas smoke with you 😉

I inherited a '65 - chrome bumpers, single cam motor (in pieces), trans (in pieces), straight, no real rust, CA car. I looked into restoring it - would cost far more than it would be worth when finished. It's a shame really.

I took this advice after selling my 87 Carrera last year. Even has a power retractable hard top. And noticeably quicker also. Cruise control? Yep. Heated seats? Yep. No regrets.

One of them is the shelves above the front suspension on the inside of the wheel wells. Road grime collects there, and festers....

We had a B for about twenty years, with many mechanical and road trip adventures.

Two years ago a fellow approached me as I got out of my first generation Miata and asked me about the cars. After a while he told me he was selling his MGB as he was tired of restoring it. The car was in great shape and I had seen it often in the area.
A few weeks later I saw him driving a third generation Miata. He said he didn't want to get out of the car.

Do you happen to own a rubber bummer car?

I like them, still have mine from high school. First engine I rebuilt. First carbs..... The car is shrinking somehow, I don't fit like I used to.

I've never heard of this...any more info?

I daily drive an MGA with a 3 main MGB engine. They can be made to be very reliable and are simple to tinker with.

No luck getting to see the car yet. Last week dad had a unfortunate fall that required 28 staples in his head☹️ It’s amazing how tough he is at 92. Most people I think would take time off , he is up getting on with life. Ct scan says he is ok. Wow just blows my mind. They don’t make them like that anymore!

It’s red and it’s mine. 1974. 19 years under a tarp, The house is sold , if I remove it this week $500.00 Canadian and it mine. It will be home Tomorrow. 😊
