I recollect some discussion awhile back about Mr. Richard Thompson's
song, "MGB-GT" and I thought I'd pass along the lyrics. A friend just
gave me the CD although I don't have a GT.....?
I've got a little car and she might go far...
She's the mistress of my heart now..
She's a 65 with an overdrive,
I fixed her in every part now,
2 in the front, and two in the back,
110 on the old Hog's Back,
She's my MGB-GT she a runner now,
I welded the sills and the old floor pan,
Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw,
Took the Rostyles off, put the spoke wheels on,
Got a brand new Salisbury axle,
When I drive her through town the girls all smile..They say,
There's a man with retro-style.
MGB-GT she's a runner now,
Lockheed discs and twin SUs, Original chrome on the grille now,
I sprayed her body, I strengthened her frame, I stripped her right down
and built her up again, MGB-GT.....
An Alpine's fine if you got the time, and a Healey'll set you back some,
TR-4 cost a little bit more, but it don't have the same attraction, Hard
top handy, case of the weather,
I don't care if it rains forever,
MGB-GT.
