when did you get your MG?

I got my MG about 1-2 years ago from my grandfather. it had been sitting for about 20 Years so he decided to give it to me so it can be in better hands.

!966...a '64 MG 1100. Needed a sedan to go with my Morgan. Bought my '67 roadster in '76 and my '71 GT in '99.

I bought my 1st MGB in 1971. It was a 1967, BRG with white top, 4 speed w/o OD. I sold it when I left for college because I thought I needed a back seat for cargo and recreation (it was a different era then). I bought my current car, Red 1980 MGB with black top, 4 speed w/OD and AC, in 2005.

I got out of cars in the 80's with the birth of the kids, and got back in about 10 years ago.

I bought the TA somewhere around 1970. Can't remember exactly.

Got the BGT 3 weeks ago.

i was given my B by my uncle when he couldnt sell it due to its condition in 1998, (i was 12) i have been slowly nursing it back to health ever since, when funds permit, it prompted me to get my first saturday job to pay for parts!

First MG was a B in 1978.
My current GT I bought approx 1995. I've owned and driven this one longer then any of the other 4 (5?) due to the internet and this forum.

Have owned the same one since 1973. original paint and interior not bad. everything else gone through back in 2000. engine and tranny done by John Twist .

I purchased my 74 GT from a friend five years ago and have taken it apart and have been putting it back together ever since.

3 years ago...72 Midget was bought out of a mini storage unit where it had been for over twenty years, it is a work in progress and I've driven it about two miles so far. 2 years ago... 78B was a gift from my son. 6 months ago...79B came about when I was a lurker on here and read Starlights profile where it was for sale. I met Starlight at the Midland Odessa, Tx. airport, bought it and drove it back to Alabama.

I got my first TD in 1962 for $350. It was a 1952. I wrecked it in 1965 and replaced it with a 1957 Morgan +4 which I traded in in 1967 for a brand new Shelby GT 350 which cost $4200 (I got $500 in the trade for the Morgan). I sure wish I still had all 3 cars. I sold the Shelby in 1970 for $2400 and the last I heard my car sold in a Las Vegas auction for over $100K several years ago after a full restoration. I replaced the TD in 2007 with a very nice frame off restoration which is the one in the signature. The TD sure brings back a lot of happy college memories.

1973 and 1981.

I bought a 64 Austin Healey sprite in 1975 sold in 1979. Second rebuild I attempted, learned a lot and got the lbc bug.
my current 73 B was purchased in 1988 in Nashville TN. Currently undergoing its well deserved restoration

got it from a head shrinker in 79 it had 56K on it, it now has 349+

Got my first MG (MGA) in 1971, and the car I still use, a 68 GT, in 1986.

Got mine at age 16 -- which was just a few short years ago :)

I got my first one late 60's early 70's and will have one until I expire.

I bought my first MG (a 1972 Midget) in 1976 when I was still in college.

I bought my 1978 MGB (still own it) in 1986.

I bought my 1969 MGC in 1992 (still own it)

I bought my 1974-1/2 MGB/GT in 1999 (still own it)

I bought my 1968 MGC in 2005 (still own it)

My first MGB, new at the dealership, 1974 in purple.... My mom called it the grape....
My next one 2 years ago, 1970 MGB that I have now....

'72 Midget in November 1972. Sold it in about 1975 when my wife was pregnant with our first son....

'78 MGB on April 3, 2001.....

Like James I bought my first MGB new at the dealership in 74 but mine was citron
Sold it a couple of years later-dumb!
Bought my 73GT in Winnipeg while I was in the army and drove it back to the coast
when I got out. Sold it to concentrate on my MGA Twin-Cam project-dumb!
Bought my Twin-Cam as a basket case in the mid 80's for 3 grand. Sold it for 6 grand as a restored rolling
chassis when I ran out of money and motivation-dumb
Bought my ZB Magnette for $200. and it was my daily driver for two years. Sold it about the came time
as the Twin-Cam for the same reasons-also dumb!
Bought my current ZA Magnette about 3 years ago. Currently resisting the temptation to be dumb and sell it.

Cheers,
Rich

1989 for current 73 roadster. First B about 1971.

Bought mine in 1989. Twenty great years together... which anniversary is this?

first bitten in 1979 with a 1968 Midget (badged as a Sprite :spinning: )

Next came "Penelope" ('67 Sprite) in May 2008, and now fills Rob's carport with joy and his remaining hair with wind!
Next one, "Daphne" ('76B -- current and only) was Nov 2008.

Dang... I just noticed, when ya look at it in print, that's a long time in between LBC roadster-fun!!

After owning an early 70s vintage Fiat 124 Spyder in the early 1980s, and having Glenn Towery convince me that MGs are better, (yes, I've known Glenn that long), I saw the light and bought my first one in the early 80's, it was a '73 roadster with some rust issues, with poorly-sorted wiring and numerous other issues, but Glenn was always accessible and willing to voice his opinion and technical expertise to help me. Now, I'm on my seventh MG, haven't seen Glenn in a couple of years, hope all is well.

I own an MG??!! Oh that's what that thing is out there. I thought someone left it there as a "test".

My one and only ever MG three years ago today!

Bought my 73 GT in 1998 from a high school friend. I hope I never have to part with it.

Bought a '69 roadster project (read basket-case) back when I was 18 (definately not a few years ago), never finished it but got the bug started.

'74 roadster bought in '96 in Vancouver, sold it 3 years ago (might buy it back. It's not been treated very well)
'77 V8; bodyshell bought in Kelowna; project took about 4 years to finish; will never sell it.
'69 GT; bought in Richmond from a friend in '06; finished in '08; sold in '09.

Got my 73 B GT in June 1980 and the 2003 TF135 in January 2007
