Showing off the new toy

So my boyfriend bought himself a new toy. Its definitely a fun ride! Although I think he is the only person to ever buy a convertible at the end of October... oh well we will just have to bundle more!
It is a '79 MG B. And yes it is lime green... and he has decided he likes the lime green. Well at least it will stand out right? We also got a kick out of the fact that the manual has a glossary of proper english terms. Oh and it also has 3 windshield wipers... I find that odd.




that pic is my fave. I love the trees in the back ground!
Now we need a name for it! LOL!

What a cool toy! I have always loved MGB's, yet I would have to say that was not one of the original colors......Definitely can't be missed!

the paint is actually chipping in places. It used to be burgundy

That is the best looking one Ive seen! I hope you have many good memories in it!

I have one from about 1972. I say "about," because I took it for paying off a bad debt and I've never driven it. It didn't run when I got it, and it's slowly returning to the earth whence it came.

However, my Irish friend described the "rubber bumper" MGB's as "requiring a day's reservation in advance if you decide you're going to change lanes." They raised the car on its suspension to meet the 1974-75 bumper height rules, and it didn't improve the handling at all.

Oh, and October/November is a great time to buy a convertible, motorcycle, or boat.
