Dad had a Mk 1 Spitfire back in the early 70's but he didn't have it very long. My mother had a brand new MGB in 1977 when we lived in Destin. That MGB had every option available, even had a hard top with sunroof and electric overdrive and wire wheels. I was actually looking for a MGB when I found my TR6.
Funny thing about the electrics. When I first got the car, I remember checking everything and pulled on the little hazard light switch. The lights started blinking like the should and after a few seconds, smoke started coming out from behind the wood dash at the switch and there was a sizzling sound!!! I quickly pushed the switch back in and it all stopped. I never pulled the switch again. Lol,
Good times.
