A little bit about myself ...
I HAVE OWNED MGS SINCE 1965 MY FIRST BEING A 1961 MGA WHICH I DROVE DAILY TO WORK AT CAPE KENNEDY. I WAS WORKING ON THE APOLLO MISSION.I ADDED A 1962 MK11 MGA IN 1980 WHICH I RESTORED GROUND UP. I HAVE ALSO HELPED MANY MGA'S AND MGB'S MOSTLY FOR MY FRIENDS AND CLUB MEMBERS IN MY 40 YEARS OF LOVING MG'S. TWO OF MY KIDS HAD MGB'S DURING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE DAYS. I ALSO HAD A 51TD THAT I PARTIALLY RESTORED BUT SOLD THIS PAST YEAR. I ALSO SOLD MY FIRST MGA SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I STILL HAVE THE 1962 MGA MK11 AND JUST RECENTLY ACQUIRED A 74 1/2 MGBGT WITH ORIGINAL PAINT, INTERIOR AND 49,700 MILES ON IT. http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u169/gilmga/ www.southernbritishcarclub.org
