Mike writes: I've driven sports cars since 1966 when I learned to drive on my father's MGB and my mother's Mustang (automatic). My father handed the MGB down to me in the late 1970's when he got an Alfa Romeo Spider. I've driven roadsters ever since, with less than a year in other cars, buying Miatas since 1990. I handed down my father's MGB to my son, Steve, who was apparently infected with MG fever, for which there is apparently no known cure. Now he has reinfected me.

The original owner purchased the car in in November, 1948. It was purchased barely over one year old in 1950 by (to be) TCMG member Barney Jackson in Southern California, who owned it for over 73 years until his death in January, 2022. It was purchased from Jackson's estate in 2022 by TCMG member Mike Simmons of Agoura, California and mechanically refurbished by his son Steve Simmons (also TCMG). Currently has an XPEG engine as installed by Jackson but the original XPAG 6472 is still with the car and was partially rebuilt by him.
