64
Yep,
18, my first car, and second year of my apprenticeship.
The dark shadow under the MG is not a trick of the light, but I ran over a pan of old engine oil.
Never did get the stain out, and it killed the grass on that side of the front lawn.
Parents were livid.
After the "rebuild" sold the car to Richardsons at Slough, got £120 for it, just before the price of "collectors car" went through the roof. At the time you could pick up a T type for under £100, nearly bought an F type Magna for £120, but no canvass roof.
If only !!!!!!!!!!!!
George.
