Nice memory lane!

My uncle restored from ground up TA's and a 'racing' TC in his home garage. I remember him fabricating new ash frames from raw timber. Later he had a chrome bumper MGB (GT?) as a daily run around too. My other uncle had a 50's TF whilst in Paris that attr

My lesson in patience

This was my car of choice in 1963 -I was in the Air Force stationed at a radio relay site about 15 kilometers from Paris. The AF really didn’t want us to have cars ( too many accidents created work for the squadron dealing with French civilians) They coul

MGB

Great little cars. Back in the day we used to switch the SU carbs for Weber. In 1968 a friend and I drove an MG Midget from Charlottesville, Virginia, to Panama in Central America. We bought a set of slightly used tires for the trip. We arrived to New Orl

Yesterday I posted about my recent Jag projects, today it's my MGB projects.

Since the small projects on the Jag weren't enough to ease my boredom, I also did a little work on the MGB (and the 356, and Mercedes, but those will be another thread). I didn't really do much on the B. Just cleaned the engine bay a bit and added a cold-

I like the idea of electrified classics

such as the RBW MGB Roadster. Retailing at about 100k £ it is built from scratch with all new components, including a new body built to original specs with original tooling, while their Jaguar E-type conversions are converted in a way that always allows t

My wife's convertible is more practical than mine...

My wife's Jeep Limited. Although the entire hardtop is removable we've never removed the whole thing, we always just removed the front panels. But last year I bought a folding section for the front seats since it's more convenient than removing the front

Lots of great cars here, and so many Alfas!

Here's mine. Numbers-matching 1964 Porsche 356C, custom 1978 MGB that originally served as my daily driver 35 years ago, my current daily driver 1986 Jag XJ6, and the 1994 MB E420 I recently gifted my son after spending many years as my previous daily.

Thank you. I've wanted an XJ since the owner of the ad agency I worked for in '84 had one. That's why I couldn't pass this one up. I've always loved the style of the Series 3.

I've been concerned for years about what direction the laws in the US will take regarding old cars. In fact, when I wanted to put my MGB back on the road in 2008 after many years in storage, I assumed it would no longer pass the New Jersey emissions inspe
