Don Tremblay's 1960 MGA 1600

I originally discovered British cars in 1967 when the girl next door started dating a boy from a neighboring town. The boy became a good friend and so did his MGA.  The car was a typical 60’s British car. What I mean is that it was dying a slow death from lack the of attention and virtually no maintenance unless something was broken. One day in 1969, I went over my friend’s house and his dad said that, “for $150.00 the car was mine”. Thirty one years later and untold memories later, the car is still mine.  The car has appreciated over the years and my appreciation for MGA’s has never wained. Today it is priceless. Our lifes have become very complicated like today’s cars.  But the MGA will always have the ability to lose one thoughts on a twisting country road regardless what life throws at us. <mailto:sassawanna@charter.net>

Lovely story and a truly beautiful MGA Don!
I'm so pleased that you spent that $150 in 1969, and that in turn this car wound up with you as its owner.
I wish you many more great years with your MGA.
