  This beautiful 1975 MG B Convertible is owned by Edward and Golda Mullins of Botwood, Newfoundland. Edward purchased the car in the fall of 1995. Edward laughs as he explains that he purchased it through an auction in St. John's, this was his first experience of buying "on-site, un-seen".

However he was pleasantly surprised with his purchase as the car had the hardtop, the soft-top, two tonneau covers, power brakes (last year for these) and the twin SU carburetors.

Edward with the help of his master mechanic friend Gary Regular, completely rebuilt the 1800 cc engine. MG engines of this vintage produced a 105 horsepower that made these little cars a joy to drive.

The welding, sanding and spraying of the smooth coat of fire engine red paint was completed with the help of Ed's friend Joe Rideout - an expert body man of many years.

The lucas wiring system had to have the usual complete overhaul.

This MG has always been in Newfoundland, having first been registered in 1975 in St. John's.



The Mullins' are members of the Central Newfoundland Antique Auto Club and can be seen on sunny summer days sporting around with fellow clubs in their little British roadster with the top down.

When asked about the Silver Wheel insurance plan as to its features and afford-ability, Edward said it's "thumbs up all the way".
