In 1997 our family enjoyed a very nice vacation at Walt
Disney World in Orlando Florida. We returned home 5/31/97. The MGB was
listed in our local newspaper "The Tuscaloosa News". On June 1st
(my wife Joanne's birthday) I saw the car for the first time. The owner
Tommy Vaught had already begun the restoration process. The car was taken
apart with parts in several boxes. The body was ready for stripping of
paint and repair. The engine would need much work as it was totally locked
up. The transmission looked OK but would require thorough inspection. The
asking price was $1250.00. I thought about it for a week and returned on
June 7, 1997. We settled on a price of $1025.00 and the car was
mine. The car was loaded on to a trailer and I took her home. This
is how she looked then......
