Default Supervox has a new toy :-)

I've always said that everyone should own a 2 seater drop-top at least once in their life - well my time is now

The twins have christened him Bumblebee

You, my Dad and my bro could talk for hours

Bro has a MGB GT and my Dad has a MGB V8 and MGB GT, dont intrest me in the slightest (tell a lie my Dads got the V8 lump out atm which is a bit more intresting)

So is it a project then or fully running for trips down to the coast?

It's a runner - although it's running very rough & weak at the moment - but my brother-in-law reclons that with a service, a tune up and a little TLC it'll be sweet

A few paint bubbles & general lack of care and attention by previous owners means that it's not the prettiest one around - but then I didn't buy it as concourse car !!

I just fancied a little runabout for a while & for £1200 it seemed a reasonable buy

Used to put my, daughter when she was just a few months old, in the carry cot in theback of the MG Roadster. She'd giggle a lot then fall asleep.

I also had a Triumph Spitfire Mark III for w while. Was a bit of heap but I loved it.

Just too darn unreliable to have as the only mode of transport, with young kids, though

Love those old soft tops

Mrs B had a Spitfire as an everyday car for several years,and I had a TR6,totally impractical,but great fun.Both were surprisingly cheap to run as long as you didnt need to rack up lots of miles.
