My first youtube uploads! I've owned this car for 5 months, and finally got to drive it for the first time yesterday; I was beyond excited.The video quality isn't great because we just used our digicam; the camcorder wasn't charged. Forgive the greasy forearms in the second video. Once I finished the brake job, I was too eager for a road test to clean up first!

When I bought the car for $950, the gas tank was seperate from the car, the rear wheel cylinders were leaking, and I had never owned a LBC (Little British Car" before, but I parents owned a few when I was growing up. I found the tank, added a new sending unit, researched how to connect the original fuel pump, and did a rear brake job. After that I was too excited to drive it! The car is a 1980 MG B Limited Edition Roadster.

 

Great looking car

Congrats on getting it alive...

 

looks like its pretty zippy

 

Even its 67 HP is enough to get the car sideways around a corner, or to peel out from a stop, with TWO adults on board. I was bound and determined to get this car drivable by the start of spring and here we are!

 

Congrats!


MG's are cool cars.

Congrats - I own a 74 Triumph Spitfire. I think they have the same 1500cc engines. Have fun

 

Sweet !! It's not often that you can buy a car that's decent for under $1000...

 

Could use some detailing?

I like it though.

You could probably find some neat wheels for cheap for that thing.

 

That was grease? I thought you had some bad ass tats on those guns!!!

 

Good job on the MGB!!!

 

sweet! my family owned an MGA and MGB when i was growing up. my dad owned an austin healy 3000 for a few years.
