Another One Hits the Road

Today was a good day. First of all it was my grandson’s sixth birthday. He is a great boy, has a lot of character, and is a lot of fun to watch grow-up. He has much of his father sense of humor, and at this age, he still seems to be the life of the party. His mom and dad are going to have an experience when he gets to be a teenager. I know every grandparent thinks their grandchildren are the smartest and the cutest, and I am no exception. He’s a great little boy and I am very proud of him.

The distant second good thing about today is that we finally delivered the beautiful 1600 MGA. It was the dove gray car with red interior and top. I hope to have a slide show to show you soon, ( I have to learn how first). This car is absolutely gorgeous. The customer has been very patient, and he has expected a very nice car, and Simon and the other guys at the shop have given him just that. The car is as close to original as we could have made it with two hidden alterations. The paint, interior and other details set the car off like few others we have had in the shop.

This is one of those with a story in that the customer had seen a picture of an MGA that was this color and these features, and he fell in love with that car. Now that he is able to afford that car of his dreams, he put his heart and soul into the car that he wanted. He painstaking researched every detail, and made sure we produced the car he wanted. At the end, he has that car. He cannot be any prouder of it than we are. It’s beautiful. I hope you will get to see it at the Concour’s in Forest Grove, or at the ABFM, I think you will like it too.
