ahh memories, such a pretty car
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

Yes - had one a bit older - 1968 red with chrome bumpers and wire wheels - was in my mid twenties and married with two kids - was our only car so had a chrome luggage rack to strap on suitcase - lived in Hoo near Rochester at the time 1976 - used to come back to the IOW for holidays - 6 yr old clinging behind the seats and baby on wife's lap ( even included the cat on one trip ) - totally illegal now and unsafe at the time !!
Finally conceded that we needed a bigger car so changed it for a ............ MGBGT - Red , chrome bumpers , wire wheels
Remember 1976 well - real hot summer that went on for months - hosepipe ban etc - had to wash my MG in the dark

I had one the same colour. I think it was damask red. I had a tow bar fabricated for it and towed a tiny ALine caravan. Two clutches later I decided maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.

Lotus Exige - sensible daily driver on the mods slippery slope
Westfield SEiW - in hibernation
Modified RS4 Avant - back in Blighty
S2000 GT - gone
