My first classic
Discussion
Hit the angry smiley by mistake.
Hello
I have also fancied a classic, but being young and having little money I haven't been able to.
Since changing job and being paid alot better, I decided it was time.
I had a quick look on eBay and sent a text to a friend who is a MGB lover.
He had one.
I went and had a look yesterday and decided to have it.
Meet Molly (as decided by the girlfriend)
1977 MGB GT
I'm the third owner
Just gone around the clock and back to 600
She needs some bodywork tlc but underneath she is in very good condition.

Great stuff, car looks terrific and will thank you for a little bit of TLC.
Remember to invest in the girlfriend too, that way she'll overlook your reckless spending on classics for many years to come. Take her out one summer Sunday for a b road drive and pub lunch (roll in the hay in a field is optional too

Oliver, looks like you'll have hours of fun, blood, sweat and tears in the garage with this old girl; and the MGB's looks good too!+1 to Ben's sagesse advice...must look after the girls as much as our mechanical mistresses. Have fun with both.

........and it looked like a baby db5. Gorgeous.
The exact thoughts of John Thornley, the General Manager of MG at the time the MGB GT was designed. 
Was originally white like the OP's, now what someone last week reckons is an AM colour.
How old is young then? Have a look at http://younggunsclassics.com/ - the club for younger people who own older cars!

I'm 18 and have got a tatty Spitfire
