1962 MGA 1600 MKII

A Journey Since 1968

Well, it was Melon's first car.

We bought it in 1968 and drove it for 5 years before retiring it to the garage.

In January of 2004 we decided that it was finally time to get it back on the road, so we unstacked all the garden tools, toys, etc., and found this underneath it all:
