Excellent pastime! I used to spend my time visiting country pubs in Yorkshire in my 1964 MGB roadster in the 1970s. I don't think they were appropriate then as much as they are now
Had to come back and watch again !!! PS Larry Adler was an American Harmonica player and composer who relocated to England in the midst of the McCarthy witch hunt of the late 40s early 50s.

@@rrmcbride555 Haha...Robert I had an 81 Z28 4 SPD Which I dearly loved. I totally understand the Lucas thing (Prince of Darkness, inventor of intermittent wipers, etc.) On British engineered cars.

I had just gotten my drivers license at 16 when my uncle bought a new 63 roadster in light blue. It was the first sports car I ever drove, and it got me hooked. I’ve since owned 3 Midgets, an MGB, and a 63 Etype.
@@GerardStamp 😄 I dithered on that and went with OEW, but Chelsea Grey was on my mind, too. It's a much rarer color. I'll chalk it up to screen color rendition not being all it could be. Cheers!!!
Excellent video, excellent car. I had a 64 Iris Blue currently a 63 Tartan Red. Have also owned a 69 MGC GT Mineral Blue, bought in 1970 with 12 K miles on the clock.
@@GerardStamp yes please. I love seeing your countryside scenery from your MG. My dream is to ship my little roadster to Europe and drive through the countryside and small towns. I'd better get to it as the years are going by too fast for me! 🤣
Great simple sports cars, which give you a lot of fun. In the past I've owned a 63 Iris Blue roadster, Mineral blue 67 roadster, 67 Sandy Beige GT, 69 MGC GT (Downton tuned) and lastly a 73 Mineral Blue GT which had been converted into a V8 by a retired RAF jet pilot who had owned it for 27 years! The C and V8 were owned when I lived in UK, the earlier cars in Australia. What is the name of the pub in the film?
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime (Bundesabgasbespassungsverbotsverordnung)!!!

It was time to come visit this again... short and sweet.

@@mollyfilms dare I say more interesting if not?
Enjoyed the video so much decided to come back and watch again. Thanks from Oregon USA
Thanks Jeff, getting a bit chilly with the roof down now!
I thought that looked like my home of Norfolk when I saw the round tower church, then I see him pull up at the Gunton Arms PH! Nice place for a pint.
Indeed it is! And the church is All Saints Alby.
That is a lovely B! Love the solid wheels..
One of the best cars to come out of Great Britain!

And the spoked steering wheel.
I love MGs. Have had Midget, B and BGT in the past.
Next time you are going to pub can you please take me as well?
I get you a pint!

I had a 1965 MG-B which had same body colour and trim colour. I would like to have it again!!!! And want to drive the British countryside.
thanks for this soothing little clip😌, my '72 BGT has no country roads or local pubs to enjoy, stuck in a horrid American city
Perfect colour combo!
Thank you - I love it!
Yes, those are the best colors for an MGB. Lovely.
♥♥ Old English White with a red interior - classic early MGB combination! Lovely to see it on its native roads headed to the local! 👍👍👏👏
Not quite - Chelsea Grey with red interior!
@@GerardStamp 😄 I dithered on that and went with OEW, but Chelsea Grey was on my mind, too. It's a much rarer color. I'll chalk it up to screen color rendition not being all it could be. Cheers!!!

The music suits it.
Larry Adler, one of a kind.
Not only did he play this tune, I believe he wrote the music.
What, no flat cap?
It came off in the wind. :)

So you drive to a Pub in MGB and afterwards drive home DUI. Very smart.
