In 1971 my wife and I were 22 years old and bought our first new car, a 1971 MG Midget.  A great car to drive and was lots of fun.  In 1972 our first child arrived.  Unfortunately we were a little cramped and had to trade it in for a family car.  Twenty-nine years later, we continued where we left off in 1971 and purchased a 1980 MGB Limited.  Even though it was shabby on the inside and had some body rust, and was not fine tuned by a long shot, we managed to get the radio / cassette player to work and took our first ride in it.  After two years of restoration, we are enjoying life on the road again.
