My car is a 1963 MGB, the first model year of the MGB.
 It has a low serial number (GHN3L-13044) and was built in May of 1963. I
 purchased the car in April 1999 after several months of looking for an early
 B roadster. In 1998 my 1969 MGB Roadster was diagnosed with terminal cancer
 and was deemed not worth repairing, so I sold it for parts over the winter
 months. I found the 63 in St.Louis, Missouri, which was quite a trek from
 Portsmouth, NH. The deal was made and I had the car shipped home instead of
 driving a 36 year old car that I didn't really know all that well on the 1300
 mile trip.

 The previous owner spent quite a bit of time on the body, there  are several
 new panels such as floors, sills, doors, etc. The car has a  brand new leather
 interior, new carpeting and new inner door panels. My car is   fairly unique as
 it had a rear seat pad which came from the factory, the PO used  an MGB-GT
 rear seat pad when he did the interior.
  I did have to do a few   finishing
 touches to the car to get it ready, but the car has a  strong  engine (40 PSI
 at idle, 65 running) and is a blast to drive. Everywhere we go   people comment on how nice the car is, the body is very straight  and is  an excellent example
 of an early MGB. I hope to show the car a little bit but my main  objective is to just drive and enjoy the car!

  Other then my MG, I enjoy the music of Jimmy Buffett and the Parrothead lifestyle. Maybe thats why I bought an MG?  As Jimmy sings, "We'll throw all our cares away, 
  "Ragtop Day".  Another thing that I really enjoy is homebrewing my own beer.  I do this mainly in the winter months when the MG is in storage. I have an excellent recipe called
 "One Particular Lager", which is my Parrothead beer.  I am now trying to formulate a homebrew recipe for "Old Speckled Hen", the MG beer brewed in Abingdon, England.
