Barry Barnes Classic Cars

1970 MGB EngineWelcome to Barry's Classic Cars   

Here you can see my two MGB's, my prior Classic Cars, view my garage, my models & collections, see how I rebuilt the engine on my 78 MGB, learn what I learned about performance building, and find links to a variety of parts for MGB's and Spridgets (Austin Healey Sprites and MG Midgets).

78 MGB Engine              Why Browse My Website?  

Great American & British Classic Cars:  This site is for people who love both American and British Classic Cars.  On it, I show off vehicles I own and have owned.  See my MGB's and other recent ones below and on other pages on this website.  Also on the Other Great Cars page, I show some more that I haven't owned, but admire.

Performance Building:  My 78 MGB high-performance engine is shown along with how I made improvements to it.

Buying & Restoring British Cars:  I've also included links to several pages on how to buy a British sports car, how to ready it for driving, how to find sources of expertise, hints on restoration, how to find parts for it, and, for Reno-Tahoe Area residents, where to get it serviced or repaired.

Other links include:  Car clubs, car associations & directories, places that sell British parts, and more.
