Great story. Those MGBs, though somewhat underpowered by today's standards, are actually quite functional (assuming they're in good shape).
A guy here who works for me just bought himself a preserved/restored MG TF -- except for the fact that it's pale yellow, it's a magnificent little roadster. He's afraid to drive it on anything but city streets and back roads, though, because it's so small and underpowered. HPH

Hey, stop that! The Enlightened Force does not discriminate against those less intense.
My grandfather's TC was light yellow and had dark green fenders.

A neighbor a couple blocks over has a white Spitfire. It is a driveway queen but looks in pretty good shape.
My roommate at OSU had a white Spitfire. I managed to back it into a ditch the winter of 1966 at the NM-CO border due to inappropriate use of throttle on a snow packed highway. We both grew up in Oregon and were on a road trip for Christmas to visit our families. Later on that night we managed to avoid an accident during a heavy snow storm. A car was stalled in the middle of the oncoming lane and a pickup truck ran into it a few seconds after we passed.
In the summer of 1967 going back to Stillwater, OK from San Antonio after I got my gold bars in the Air Force I found my roommate on the side of the road in the Spitfire. It was missing the left rear wheel. We looked for it for over an hour but never could find that wheel.
