This mid/late-70s plastic bumper MGB was parked outside O’Reilly on my latest trip there. Unfortunately I didn’t see if the guy driving it was buying Lucas electrics.

He was probably getting another gallon of Castrol GTX.

I would think the Irish would burn the car.

The only electrical issue I had on mine was a bad battery cable. Quite an interesting experience the first time I went looking for the battery. I’m sure the time I had to jump start my Yukon with the MGB, people looking on must have thought it was the other way around.

Now the ZS carb was another issue entirely, for me.

Too bad you didn’t. He needed to be made aware of that parking job.

I saw a beautiful early MGA, in BRG, broken down on the shoulder of the freeway during rush hour on Thursday evening. I was sad for about half a second before I thought “well, what did they expect?”

Oh, I saw the guy, I just didn’t see what he bought. Parking lot was suitably empty that I didn’t care about the parking job.

Having owned a BRG Spitfire, it’s important, when talking to someone from Eire, to refer to the color as Kelly Green.
