I am an avid MG and overall automotive enthusiast. Though new to the MG Experience, I have been active elsewhere and am a member and Technical Advisor of the American MGB Association (AMGBA). I've had my B since 1990, when it was purchased as a wreck for $300. Progressive restoration (you all have been there) over the years, it is a very good and reliable car that was never built as a show car and I continue to use regularly, but it can also garner 2nd in class honors at shows. Overdrive was added a few years ago and other recent upgrades include new leather seats of my own fabrication, a new radio and a long overdue installation of an engine cooling fan. I highly recommend that last one to anyone in an area they get stuck in traffic when it's hot. Of all our cars, this is still the first choice to drive. And now my grandchildren come with me on bagel runs in it and help me clean it up for the few shows we go to, as my girls did when they were young.

The Bond film, "Die Another Day" has Bond swim across the harbor (a fairly difficult to impossible feat in itself) and climb up on the dock of the Royal Yatch Club with...
58 MGA Restoration - Hong Kong
Posted on: Tuesday March 18, 2008
Introduction: Working in China and getting involved as a member with the MGCC Hong Kong as well as attending and participating in functions of the Hong Kong Classic Car Club, I have come to appreciate the difficulties in importing and owning classic cars we do not have in the States and am continually impressed with the lengths to which these folks here will go to find their dream car(s) and restore them. The story to follow on a 58 MGA restoration is still a work in progress, with the body...
