Father's car - Son's Car

Thought I would post a little comparison of my 1967 MGB GT and my Son's 1997 Eclispe RS.

Well, 30 years and 12 thousand dollars buys you 50 more horsepower (100+morefor the Turbos). Note the MG is actually lower. I restored the MG for 1/2 the cost of theRS new.

Yep. That is Primrose Yellow. Used on MG's and Jags. Left the car exactly as factory as I could. Only thing about yellow. I always loose when I show against other MG's that are red. Just not as popular.
