Very Early MGB: GHN3L808

This car has been in my family since new. My second cousin, Eddy purchased the MGB new in 1962 at a dealership outside Baltimore Maryland where he lived. A 1959 Chevy convertible was traded in to get the car.

After transmission problems in the late 1960s, the car was taken off the road. After a year of sitting in an apartment parking space collecting water, my uncle took ownership and placed it in his garage until 1995.

In 1995, my father and I towed it from Baltimore to western Pennsylvania to my third cousins garage. My uncle passed away, abandoning the car. I had it given to me last year. This was the car that got me started loving MGs.

I've wanted this car since the 1980s and now I own it! The car is off white with red interior. The only options were a dealer installed radio and trunk rack. It has 41,000 miles and has not been on the road since the 1960s. The body number is 000746.
