Another new car for John

Here we go again, already got far too many, but this one is a bit different so I couldn't say no.
It's an MGB GT which belonged to my uncle who sadly passed away some 2 years ago. I've been given the car for free, on condition that I return it to the road. Lucky or what?

It's stood a while and needs some weldzingz, a water pump and a good tune, possibly some more stuff. But hey, it's easily the best free car I've ever been given. It even beats the ST202 Celica GT-R that my mate got for nowt last week.

Comes with a garage full of spares including panels and a full set of glass:

Nice. I have a soft spot for those MG's. Thank goodness it has chrome bumpers - can't stand the later plastic ones :)

The plan is to do a sympathetic resto, to keep the family happy. Will look into lowering though, and I was at some historic rallying at Croft today, which gave me really naughty ideas once I got home and got the phone call offering the car. :twisted:

Didn't catch the results, think they all went to Darlo's posh new stadium for that. Light blue escort mex seemed the quickest by far though.
