Here is one for my British cousins. MGBs were quite popular in Oz in their hey-day. This one is just a well looked after driver--it is not a restored show car. It is also for sale for 11K, which is way over priced IMO. Downloading is recommended.

Loc: Yosemite natl. park, Ca.
I used to have the same one, loved it. But mine was brown. During the day I drove a Peterbilt truck and trailer hauling lumber all over southern Calif. Then at quitting time, into the MGB, a 12 park of beer, and a cruising I'd go.

Interesting. Here in the US, the (huge) front bumper would have been black rubber ("safety" bumper regs - ugh) IMO, this is much more attractive. Prices here are all over the place from 5K to 20K+ (US). Nice shot.

Great car in it's day but today I'd have trouble getting in and out of it. LoL.

That's a pretty little car, Earl. Nice shot.

They were much better looking before they added those goofy looking bumpers.

I was Stationed at RAF Abingdon for the end of my Service, (the "home" of MG), I played at the closure of the MG works, (brass band). I much appreciate your efforts.

Wow! A touching moment in British automotive history - not sure how you didn't shed a few tears for Morris Garage.

You should buy in U.K. - mind you, our prices are not much cheaper. My cousin's husband has an "old" MGB that he's restored.

Actually, I would love to find a nice MGA at a decent price. The body style is timeless and still appeals to me after all these years (I had an A in the 60s that we swapped a B engine into).
