Inca Yellow

Just 61000 miiles on the clock, nearly a third of what my daily car has done over the last 5 years. It also has the same top speed judging by the speedo here.

Late-model MGBs had overdrive rather than a fifth gear. You can put the car into overdrive in 3rd or 4th and the engine produces less torque, but hopefully saves you petrol and reduces engine wear and noise.

The centre console, currently known as 'stuff that probably belongs to the loose wires in the engine bay'. So far we know that the passenger-side headlights and indicator don't work, or does the heater.

Back home and after a good wash the MG is looking very smart. Amazingly the tyres have stayed inflated, which is good as there will be quite a bit of parts to buy and if I can put off buying a full set of tyres for a while it'll help.
