Nope. My parents never discussed that in any detail. However, by the
time I'd been conceived Dad had traded the MGA on a '58 vette, where
he'd selected every race option available. The car would pass anything
but a gas station. Dad says that he'd had a tuning problem that the
local dealer couldn't handle, so they sent him off to have the factory
race mechanics look at it when they were at a nearby track. On his way
home, he said he shifted from 3rd to 4th and chirped the tires, at
100MPH.
When I was on my way, they traded the Vette in on a Volvo ('60 or
'61), 544(?) with the split window. The first MG I ever remember
riding in was the '65 (or '66) BGT that my first grade teacher had.
It's funny what details I can remember from 40 years ago. I remember
my best friend's dad getting a really cool car, that many years later
I realized was a '65 GT350.
