- When Tim purchased his 1964 MGB in 1965, little did he know it would follow him throughout his entire life, from his early years, to his honeymoon up to today (and he's still married). Watch and listen to the story of his favorite roadster as told through the steady hands of Classic Motor Films.

You had me shedding tears of joy on this one. Married in ‘63, a black ‘63 MGB was our first car;traded a VW in to buy it. We autocrossed and rallied as members of a local sports car club. I wish I still had that B (and the VW too!) I’m 82 but still driving a sports car- a 2019 Miata MX5. Thanks for bringing back some great memories for me.
I'm 76 and still driving a 1963 B. One of 30 Brit cars I have owned since 1964.
Beautiful B. She has a nice raspy tone. I’m just completing my ‘66 and can only hope it will be as nice as yours.
That is a beautiful automobile sir!
Good to see Moss is making another MGB video.
A lovely story of days gone bye.
…..So much more than just a nostalgic car ride
Thank you
Wish I could give this a heart instead of just a thumbs up. Lovely video of a lovely car!
I adore these cars. I have a '64 and a '77, both roadsters.
My first new car was a B. R. Green 1965 MG B from Baker Motors in Atlanta , Ga. What wonderful memories 125,000 miles in 3 years never let me down .
Beautiful Car. I was in love with A 1959 MGA coupe a couple years in 70-72 but was forced to sellwhen I made a major move in life. I watch all these ”classoc” beauties as much as I enjoy playing my guitars. Hope You have many more Happy Miles ahead. 🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍
This is a great story. We’ll made video, great music. Thanks Moss!!
Wonderful video - thanks so much!
Another outstanding video.
Very very nice, you have taken excellent care, have a pat on the back from me.
I love your 64 whatever Cam you put in it combined with the Exhaust has a fantastic Note coming out of the TailPipe i’ve owned one B for 14 years i had it roadworthy and ready to go that car had so many Memories of my life inSouthFlorida and way too many trips up and down U.S1 in the Florida Keys nothing better than a Sunny Florida day and hauling Ass in a MG with the top down and a Radio playing i’ve also Owned a 53 TD ,55 TF 1500, 64 Sprite (Spridget) and i’m been eyeballing a few XKE and some of the XK 120 and Big Healey Kits even being a Purist at heart i’m coming up on60 years of age and i kind of like the thought of a new Drivetrain and Frame plus some of the “new” Gadgets like Blue tooth Phone capability , Air Conditioning ,plush Leather seats , Classic styling but even the lower maintenace of a Fiberglass body and the simplicity of going Nationwide being able to pull into a Major Autoparts store and finding Parts to make repairs a simplistic fix as opposed to every place i’ve ever lived becoming involved with the Local British Supply Chain and Repair facilities ( Which are Enjoyable good people but i do like getting out and visiting new areas in a fun Vehicle or Motorcycle and although i’ve had my share of PracticalHondas ,Toyotas ,Nissans , and Chevy ,and Fords they can be boring BTW Moss Motors does do a wonderfull job of helping all of us keeping ours on the Road and Happy and i’ve always gotten great over the phone advice and Knowledgable hands on Representiices
Perfect MGB. I inherited my Uncles when he passed last fall. It’s a Tartan Red 65 that’s stock other than the Miata transmission upgrade and a snotty exhaust. I love driving it.
Bought my ‘52 TD when I was 16., my first car. Still have it at 66. I understand your attachment to your MGB.
I drove my MGB as a commuter for 8 years. I should never have sold it.
Great story! Thanks. I get the MGB following you around during your life. Mine has been in my life since I was 12 in 1965 shortly after I read Don Stanford's The Red Car. I bought it the red B from my grandfather in 1977 and drove it back to MN from the Bay Area. Major mechanical refurbishment last year finds the car totally reliable with an OD trans. Ready for some real trips. Unfortunately, I don't have occasion to drive it much and find getting in and out is more of a challenge. Still hard to get serious about selling it, but maybe someone else should enjoy it now. We will see.
Beautiful example. Lovely.
I recently sold my 1964 owned for 9 years. Missed it so much I bought a 63 and undoing all the original owner's "creativity" and neglect. Bs are great cars.
Very nice "B", story and owner. I have a white '64 too, a little different though (custom chassis/suspension, SBC/4-speed). A loyal Moss customer too (recent grill).
Lovely little film.
What is the music, its
Terrific!
Lovely car I have a 1968 MGC which is the same colour, Snowberry White I think. I have owned 7 MGBs 1 1953 MGTF and another 1968 mineral blue MGC since 1970
Nice mg, hope I can finish mine soon.
Beauty...had a midget years ago...wish I still had it...no synchro 1st gear...lol that always took some getting used to
Gorgeous car. A minor pedantic point: Switches are “toggle” not “rocker”.
That MG Grateful Dead Stealie decal - where ever did Tim get that? I'd love to find one.
Hi and thank you for your video.
Can I ask please what can shaft you used and what else would need to be done, I mean just cam upgrade?.
Mine is a 1987 roadster.
Thank you in advance.
The guy knows how to keep his gearbox from wear and tear.
Where did he get that aluminium head I wonder🤔
Moss.
So how much is that car worth on today's market? I bought a brand new 73 Roadster and still have it to this day. It looks like a one-year-old car in really good shape. All original 65,000 miles. Anybody want to guess what I can sell that car for?
Do a search and then go to Bring A Trailer for sales history.
Condition is everything.
what color is this
I will never understand why BL didn't install a decent twin cam engine like the Alpha Romeo. All aluminium.
The MGB was a great little sports car!
The MGA Twin Cam was a failure. If that engine had not had problems, perhaps BMC would have developed it and used it in later MGs.
Too expensive, and as has been said, they tried a twin cam in the 50s. It’s Alfa.
Lovely car. Prefer it with the original steel wheels and octagonal speaker.
Too bad it’s not painted British Racing Green. Then you’d have me.
Nice to see an original Old English White that has remained unsullied.
Dullest colour ever put on a car
