Description

Today’s cars do a wonderful job of insulating their occupants from the great outdoors. How boring.
An MGB with the top down is the exact opposite of this, for better or worse. Mostly better.
The heady mix of leather, gasoline and motor oil, combined with whatever natural or man-made odors waft by your nostrils is a seductive automotive opiate. In this age of synthetic-laden interiors, bank vault passenger compartments and well dampened road/engine noises, cars such as the MGB are as out of step with the times as dancing the jitterbug at a Cold Play concert.
