I'd mentioned previously that I was thinking about getting an MGB GT to replace my trusty Corsa as she was coming to the end of her lifespan. Although I've not completely paid off the Morgan, the amount owing is in the '£100's', and I can get £300 scrap for the Corsa, so, encouraged by my ever patient Mrs, it was time to abuse the credit card again and see what was out there.

I wanted a late one and planned to convert to chrome bumpers, fit some minilites and tone down the 80's deck chair interior - so when I saw a 1980 black MGB GT, with a chrome bumper conversion, minilites and a black interior it was kismet. New petrol tank, new radiator and unleaded head to boot..

Arranged to go and see it this afternoon, but he rang this morning to say the alternator had packed up. I told him I'd still come over, then went to the shed, found a spare Lucas Alternator and went over to view.

Happy with the car, alternator worked perfectly and helped me knock a few quid off the price. In the end, got it for £4K so pretty happy with that. Will need some fettling but that's what I enjoy.
