I was 16  and my girlfriend's brother had a beautiful black 65 MGB and I
wanted  one.


Hey Bob,
I have the opposite story to tell. My only real early experience with  
British cars came when I was driving a brand new 70 Plymouth Barracuda.   Here 
comes Beverly's sister Mary Anne into the drive with a brand new MG  Midget.  
Beverly had a 68 Mustang.  I tried one time to get into that  midget and 
said, yuk! Little did I know that one day (1980) I would be into  the 76 
Spitfire 1500 as my sportscar of choice. A buddy of mine had a 77 MGB  that I ran 
circles around.  Too bad for him for the 77 B's were the ones  with the bad 
camshafts.  That car was a home for the homeless mice for  decades. The 
1500 is still going strong.
