Moved the MGB around earlier when cold.

Went for a little jaunt this evening. Remembered why I bought this car and why we moved. Unlike Bristol City, I can buzz around back roads around here at my owns speed. If I did happen to break down, I can simply pull over and wave to the occasional motorist passing.

Anyway here are some scenic pictures out and about.

Toys!

As I'm sat here writing this, I can smell something.

Poo. At least petrol is cheap at the moment. Hopefully just needs nipping up.

That's some kinda newfangled electric fuel pump I take it?

Ha it's not that bad. It's about the same level as the bottom of the exhaust. Was a pain the utter arse trying to get that routed under a car while it was on jacks.

Funnily enough I was looking at the rear suspension earlier and I think those springs need changing out. Now it's being used again, there isn't much travel before it hits the bump stops!

It's a Hardi - one of those German copies of the SU pump. It has points still but they're electrically assisted like you can do on distributors. So they don't need readjusting or replacing.

Those pre sagged rear springs will probably sell on retro rides where lack of suspension travel is the new god (still)
