Viewers Cars - Ep 9 - Gerard Stamp - Family Affair

For this episode of our Viewer's cars series, we’re off to Norfolk in the UK and a lovely MGB roadster owned by fine artist Gerard Stamp that's been in his family from new in the 1960s. It really is a work of art!
CORRECTION: Gerard has pointed out my mistake in the video. Rosse and Alice lived in Herefordshire not Hertfordshire! Apologies to all.

Greetings from downunder nice to see another B lovingly cared for. I've owned 10 MGs including 3 B roadsters and 4 BGTs over the past 55 years and currently drive a snowberry white C roadster

Thanks for your comment - I do wish we had your weather so we could get out in our MGs more :-)

The fogs in the grille gives it a lovely individual look, well kept and loved by the family obviously.

[@ClassicMGB]

Thanks for your comment - couldn't agree more!

[@GerardStamp]

Many thanks again Graham, a lovely video. I'm looking forward to getting the car out of the garage once again - please stop the rain!

[@ClassicMGB]

No problem Gerard - if I could change the weather, believe me I would!

A Beauty! Seems to have plenty of ground clearance too...mine was a bit lower.

[@ClassicMGB]

Thanks for your comment - truly a lovely car!

[@mgguyvintagevehicles]

Another great video Graham, thanks! I love that you're showcasing viewers cars. I have a 1974.5 roadster that I'd love to have you cover if you're interested - right now it's in my garage waiting for a fuel pump to be installed, we're in the middle of winter here in Canada so I haven't been feeling rushed to install it. EDIT: I wrote this before the video was over.....I'll see about getting some pics and send you details to the email address you list. Keep up the great work!

[@ClassicMGB]

Thanks for your comment - looking forward to receiving some photos and the story!

Excellent car, excellent presentation.
I like the fog lights in the grill and leather wrapped steering wheel.
I am envious of the solid steel wheels and caps.
Clever to put a proper crank through the bumper ?
I note, looks like an overdrive switch. Alas, no cigar lighter.
Is that a fuel filler on the right rear wing ?
Also note there is no jack socket under the rockers. Good move , the jacks are trash.
I have visited his web site many times for art and for the videos. A Must see.

[@ClassicMGB]

Thanks for your comment. Do you have contact details for Gerard to answer your questions? If not, I'll pass them on to him...

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@ClassicMGB Lok at the right rear wing at :27 ... Looks like a fuel cap to me.
Sonce it was restored, I am wondering if the cap and filler tube were relocated back to their original position.
I believe I can contact him via his web site. Thanks.

[@GerardStamp]

@@jeffhildreth9244 Hello Jeff, yes, I think Uncle Rosse put in a much larger fuel tank during the years they were towing the caravan, and I presume that is why the fuel filler was relocated. He moved it back again some time later though, it's not something I had altered

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@GerardStamp Good Morning Gerard, As suspected, there had to be a reason for the Filler relocation.
Caravan towed by an MGB.. love it.
I very much enjoy your art and the You Tube Channel videos.
Thanks from Oregon USA.

How many miles are on the car?

[@ClassicMGB]

Thanks for your comment - I don't know how many miles are on the car... I'll drop Gerard an e-mail to see if I can find out...

[@GerardStamp]

I’m afraid I have no way on knowing: the current indicated mileage is 56000, but as my uncle unfortunately didn’t keep the MOT certificates I have no idea how many times it’s been around the clock. I would estimate at least twice!
