OMG!!! I’m a nearly 40 year old guy that just cried through nearly half of this episode. You two are incredible parents. Caleb is a remarkably grounded, thoughtful, and appreciative young man. Thank you guys. Really. I needed this today.

So true

With all of the excitement, Caleb was very poised and respected the moment and situation - immediately thanked the sellers and showed appreciation to them which was awesome - he's such a good guy!

I was tearing up watching Caleb when he realized it's his car. He is such a great kid. So happy for him. I've really enjoyed watching the relationship the three of you share. And Caleb has become such a wonderful part of the channel.

That was the best reveal I've seen. And his reaction was precious and so full of gratitude. What a good man he is. Great job mom and dad.

Y'all are living my dream...race tracks, super C, convertible....dreamy.

In a world of "we deserve it" kids, Caleb is such a breath of fresh air. He's so sincerely grateful and kind. We need more "Leach" parents in this world!!

WOW! Watching this episode pulled at the heartstrings. Caleb’s face was priceless and his appreciation and the amount of times he said SERIOUSLY made me smile! You really surprised him! I do believe he is going to work on you to let him take that to school! Thank you both for sharing this remarkable story! Congrats Caleb and we’ll done Mark and Trish! ❤

Giving him the Ford keys was Genius! That sold the whole story. Why would he give him keys? WELL PLAYED! Congratulations 👍

Hope you bought him a nice tool set to go with it. Great car to learn how to self repair.....constantly 🙃

The car is compact and lightweight, makes it a whole lot easier on the people doing the *pushing!*

So awesome! Amazing for Caleb. But I'm betting it was big emotional day for Marc. Bestowing a dream come true on his youngest son and last bird who will fly the nest soon. Big moment, big day, bigger memories. Well done. Well done.

His reaction when Trish said this isn’t a daily driver was the best.

My husband looked over and said "why are you crying" and I couldn't explain without tearing up more. I'm so happy for Caleb💙

Me too! Crying with happiness for Caleb and Trish & Marc. So good 👍

Congrats, Caleb! Just remember that the MGB gets the best MPG when it’s on the trailer 😄. Be safe and have fun! Epic job keeping that a secret.

I started watching this channel when Caleb was just a little boy and now, wow, he got his own convertible. Time flies! Thanks for sharing your amazing journey with us!

Brought back lots of memories. To this day, one of my favorite days of my whole life was surprising my daughter with her car on a random day when she was 16 years old (in 2004), She just walked out one morning to get in the car for me to take her to school and it was sitting in the driveway. Soooo much fun! I’ll Never forget it. This looked like so much fun for you!

Fun episode seeing the expression on Caleb’s face when he finally realised he wasn’t being pranked and the car was his. It’s a beautiful MGB. Great episode!

Congrats Caleb!!! Great job mom and dad. Never thought I would see him speechless.

This is really cool and we love that Caleb loves this car. A few years ago, Natalie’s dad (in the Uk) bought an MGB to relive his youth (owned one in his early 20s, now mid 70s). It was the one that got away! Over the years, he restored it to exactly how he remembered his original one. New chassis, repainted, new engine, reupholstered interior, new roof. He barely watches our videos, but we’re pretty sure he’ll watch this 🤣

love how Bill just strolled along on the side to help with the re-starts lol!

Now Caleb knows what a vintage car is, not a daily driver. But lots of fun under the hood and behind the wheel. Enjoy Caleb!!

Ok, I'm not gonna lie. 15:06, seeing how much Caleb appreciates what you guys did for him, brought a tear or two to my eyes.

Terrific son you raised. His appreciation, kindness, and respectfulness is always present. Thank you for raising such fine contributions to mankind.

How cool is that!? I’m 63 and I’ve always wanted an MGB or TD. That’s one happy young man.

😭Happy tears for Caleb. What a great memory was made that day and what a great kid!!!!

When my brother was 16, he bought his first car, a 1957 MBA coupe. He restored it (I like to say I helped) and later sold it when he graduated from college. He later restored the car our father bought new, with which we both learned how to drive, a 1957 VW beetle. He now has another 1957 MGA coupe, a 1972 MGB convertible, several old motorcycles, all which he is currently restoring, along with the VW. He has won many awards with his restoration work and he is now 71. The point is, Caleb now joins this British car family of folks whose love for these cars remains lifelong. Loved the video, the joy will stay with him forever!

Congrats Caleb! This brought back memories of my MGB that I bought in the Army in Seattle. I drove it to Kansas City just before being sent overseas. It was a fun car. You are going to have a blast in yours.

I had the opportunity to carsit an MGB-GT for a friend who was deployed back in the 1970a -- what a joy filled time that was for me! I really was sad to have to, but happy and thankful to be able to, return it when he came home.

Parents of the Year! Very happy for Caleb. I had an MG when I was much younger. It was a ton of fun to drive and taught me a lot about how to work on cars.

Priceless. From barefooted in Alaska to a MG. He's so grown up. Congrats!

This memory will stay with him all his life. Congratulations to you all. I think Mom is right about not driving it to college it's having problems and you'll be able to drive it on breaks.

My hubby had an MGB when I met him and it was driven, with constant problems, for years. It will always have problems, lol. And Caleb will learn so much. But def not a daily driver.

Caleb’s facial expressions are priceless!😂 That was so exciting to watch! I love how happy he is about it! Sitting inside the car while at the gas station! Amazing! It’s a beautiful car!

So happy for Caleb. His face when he finally realized it was his was priceless. Thanks for the view of the two tone green 1974 Frid. My dad had one of those and I used it to pull my two horse trailer. God bless. And Caleb never drive faster than your yard Ian angel can fly!!

Brought a tear to my eye. Caleb getting his MGB. After watching all these years, Caleb my be our President of the United States of America someday. No kidding.

Generous sellers, grateful and great kid, amazing parents! Cried when Caleb realized it was his car. Well done mom and dad❤️😄

Makes me wanna cry, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

That ranks up there as one of the best videos! So happy for Caleb and his reaction was priceless. Excellent job Marc and Trish!!

Caleb is such a great part of this channel and he's so deserving! So happy to see this unfold!

I cried through the first half of this video. Love Caleb. He gives me back my faith in young people. I hope college doesn’t change him too much.❤️

A lifetime of childhood Christmases rolled into one magical moment. The look on Caleb’s face when he FINALLY realized that beauty was really all his was absolutely priceless. He’s a great kid - well done!!!

This was so fun to watch! I love the KYD kids and its so wonderful to see Caleb get such a wonderful present. He will never forget that day! Marc and Trish you are the parents everyone wishes they had!!!

My 1st car was a 67 Fiat 850 Spyder Sport, got it in 78. It would break down every 150 - 175 miles. In college, I would park it in one specific spot so I could push start it myself for 6 months until I could get the starter fixed. I loved that car. Owned it until 2021. Caleb, enjoy the education of a car you can actually work on and learn all of its peculiar secrets. points burning out, carburetor fowling, electrical problems (catching fire), over heating for no reason and stranding you 100 miles from anywhere, and so forth... Spent every Christmas with my dad, for many years, rebuilding the engine, electrical, clutch until I got my own house then the tradition passed over to my kids. Enjoy it and treasure the memories.

Love the channel, love the mgb for Caleb, just remember one thing about British sports cars, "If there's oil in them, there's oil under them". Lol.

Your parental ruse in unveiling the car to Caleb was awesome! Capturing it on video and sharing it was a very appreciated. I would be happy to nominate you both as candidates for the parental Hall of Fame! Very entertaining! As a car nut since birth, I can appreciate Caleb's excitement and enthusiasm. In no time flat, Caleb will be an expert in troubleshooting his MGB. His first tool should probably be a Multimeter and books on MGB repair. My first car was a problematic beast to say the least, but, the value of education received working through automotive problems in a simple car served me well for years to come. He is going to have a blast and will learn a lot. Thanks for sharing the big day!

I am a guy that loves Classic Cars, this by far my most favorite KYD vid!!

So happy for Caleb! He seems like the sweetest kiddo and we have enjoyed watching him grow up. 🥳🥳🖖🖖

I can remember push starting my brothers MG so many decades ago! That was an awesome surprise!

We spent 5 years restoring a Jeep YJ with our son from age 15 when we got it for him to now 20 years old. Such a great experience! Y'all have fun and welcome to Florida.

Caleb, you have the best parents EVER! Loved this episode. My two brothers and I all had MG's. My oldest brother was transferred to Fort Hood, TX upon his return from Vietnam, and bought a used MG. Ended up with a dead transmission and bought one from a wrecking yard - a year different - and did the replacement work himself. Never figured out where the extra bolt was supposed to go. Returned home upon discharge and dropped the universal joint on the way home, in an obscure town in California. My next-older brother bought a new Midget in college - I think it was a 74. Funny story, my mom worked with him on the purchase, then later that Saturday she went to confession. My brother had done something to torque her off, and she talked with the priest about it. The priest says, "Why don't you do something nice for your son for a penance?" She says, "I just loaned him the down payment for his first car." The priest says, "That's probably enough!" He kept it through college and then sold it and bought a first-generation Toyota Celica. The guy who bought it from him eventually sold it, and then that guy eventually put it in storage. My brother tracked it down and bought it back, has restored it, and it's a garage queen now. I bought my Midget in 79, the last year they were made. Drove it for about 44k miles. The right rear seal never did seal properly, always leaked a bit. Eventually, the electronic ignition started going out intermittently - the car would just die, I'd pull over, give it a minute or so and then start it back up. Eventually it died and I ended up locking up the starter trying to get it going. Had to get the ignition and the starter replaced. Later, one of the gears broke and I had to have the tranny rebuilt. I ended up selling it to a lady who was moving to the east coast (I'm in Oregon) who had retinitis pigmentosa - she was slowly going both blind and deaf, and wanted to have a fun car while she could still drive. Here's a hint: if you get in traffic and it starts to overheat, roll the windows down and put the heat on full blast. I always wanted to get a bumper sticker that would say, "The quality parts falling off this car were made in Great Britain." All the best to you!!!

Caleb had me in tears with his surprise and joy. That is so cool!

This episode is in our top 5 favorite KYD posts. OMG, we love your family and Caleb is a great young man. We've watched KYD for years and his sense of humor is great. You are great parents and what a surprise you pulled off. I'm a 66 year old Grandma. And I cried tears of happiness for Caleb & you Marc & Trish. So, so good. You all will remember this forever....and so will we. Jennifer & Jerry Peoria Az

This may be the best video you’ve ever put out! What an awesome surprise for Caleb and you guys pulled it off so smoothly! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Caleb literally speechless before. He’s such a great kid and so deserving and grateful. Most kids his age want new Hondas, or BMW’s etc. The fact he wanted a 50yo MGB just shows he’s an old soul, which we already knew. Congratulations Caleb, this will be the car you look back on with a smile for the rest of your life! Good job parents!

Happy Sunday everyone and congratulations to Caleb! Love yall 3000!

Seeing you push that MGB brings back so many memories! Gotta love em!

This brought back so many memories of Michigan. It was 60 years ago this summer US 131 Dragway opened. I was 7 and helped prepare for the opening with my Dad, Frank. In 1974 I owned a Orange '71 MGB (the one with no glovebox) wire wheels (never wish for those again) two 6Volt batteries (impossible to jump) I installed a roll bar (made it much stiffer over potholes) & doors didn't rattle. Recommended! Never had problems finding someone for a push either. And Euchre! Living in Oregon now. Enjoy your MG Caleb and drive safely.

Caleb, welcome to the club. In the video you were told how easy they are to work on. Every MGB owner will tell you that. Ask them how they know. I’ve had my 80 for 6 years now and just love it! Enjoy the ride.

Love Mark’s humble reaction to his son’s excitement a thing only great dads have, wonderful

When Trish said this is not a daily driver to Caleb. I couldn't help, but chuckle especially afterseeing the later parts of the video.

Congratulations Caleb! MG’s are such cool cars 😎. My condolences to you all for the many hours of work ahead to keep it running. 😉

Hahaha.."oh I am so bringing this to college." I just turned 41 and I remember when my dad bought my first car for me. We went on a 2 week road trip to Colorado 3 days later...I had just got my license. Now he he's gone and every time I see that car I get the same feeling. Love your channel....very inspired. We have been travelling with our rv for the past 9 years....usually withing 8 hour drive from home, but plan on going farther next year now that our kids are a bit older. I'm still that same kid at heart...Drive it like ya stole it man (and also take care of it).

What a happy feeling Caleb, i remember my parents gifting my first car, wow, cherish it man.

I love it when the air horn makes you guys jump!!! Lol

OMG! That was my DREAM car in the early 80's when in high school. Thanks, you made my CRY! Calebs reaction was PRICELESS! Been watching you for years and he's such a good kid!! Caleb....ENJOY! This 57 year old grandmother will live vicariously through you. You guys are AWESOME parents!!

I was with you Marc until you grabbed the Grey Poupon. At that moment I lost it. So funny 😂 congrats Caleb!

I was literally brought home from the hospital in a ‘72 MGB and I’ve wanted one since my dad sold it. I’m so happy for Caleb and I wish him nothing but the best of luck with his B.

He is--definitely--SO BRINGING THIS TO COLLEGE.

Congratulations Caleb 🤩 you’ll learn so much having a car like this. We gave our son a VW 1969 bug and he had that engine in and out so many times that he is now a hands on with all his cars. Enjoy the drive 😎 get some sunglasses too 😉

What a thrill this was to watch. I bought my first MGB in 1966 and my second in 1972. But it was my third one that really had a story. I decided that I wanted to buy one to keep really as a ‘toy’ and for several years I looked. I was so lucky to find what I did. The owner of my 1981 MGB Mark IV had bought it for the same reason but after a year he decided that he really could not afford the cost. The car was built on my birthday in October 1980 and was one of the last two ever imported into CANADA. It’s shipping mate was identical and was purchased by The Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. Because it did not arrive into CANADA until February of 1981 it’s VIN number was registered as a 1981. There are only two with that distinction because British Leyland stopped making MGBs in October of 1980. I had that car for 24 years and it was never driven in the rain and was garaged every winter. After retiring from EDUCATION I drove it rarely and so also decided to find someone who was looking for a showroom quality MGB to love. I found that person and sold it for almost twice what I had paid for it. I was often asked to tell why my vanity plate read MGB3. Enjoy it Caleb. It is a treasure. If I could I would attach a photo but cannot do that here. The real killer was that it was also British Racing Green. Because I owned it and it was not transferable, I still have the vanity plate as my souvenir.

What a awesome day for Caleb. He will remember every minute of this.

No hug for mom and dad? The look of bewilderment was priceless. Congrats Caleb how fun!

BEST EPISODE EVER!! I'm 70 and wish you were my Mom & Dad!

Can’t. Stop. Smiling!!! Congratulations, Caleb!! Truly so excited for you! And I know that family is so happy to know their Dad’s car will be treasured and cared for as their Dad did for all those years. Such a wonderful coming together of so many kind people!

I'm so happy for that kid! He's been apart of the pleasure of watching your journey.

I had a 1969 MGB. Dad and I rebuilt the car body with the help of a neighbor. I drove that car for over 12 years. We went everywhere together. High School, College, Army Basic Training, Army Flight School and beyond. I wish I still had it. I do have my Dad’s ‘52 MGTD now though. If the car is warm, you don’t really have to be going very fast to push start it. Trust me. 😜 If you’re ever in the Allentown, PA area look me up. I can show you much of what you need to keep her tuned up and running smooth. Stuart

Caleb, you have great taste in cars. MGB-GT was my first car. I drove it cross country and had to learn the basics of auto repair. Now I have 2- a roadster and a GT. You never get over it. BTW of course you are taking it to college. I wonder if the MGB is still a chick magnet...

When I was in high school, my very cool mom bought herself an MGB and was the talk of our little, midwestern town. So happy for Caleb!!!

I was raised in the Northeast and had a similar car (Triumph). I drove it all year long, rain, snow, loved it. Unless Caleb decides to leave it at home, when he goes to college he needs to take it. If it’s his car, it should be his choice! Yes, it needs to be taken care of, but there is no reason that can’t be done. Congratulations Caleb, it’s a beautiful car, be careful, take care of it, and have fun.

My first car was a British Leyland '74 Triumph Spitfire. First day I got it, it stalled going across 2 lanes of traffic. My Dad had to rewire the whole car. I kept a hammer in it always to tap the starter whenever it decided to act up. You had to lift the shift to move to reverse, until the entire thing pulled out and then you just made sure you could pull forward wherever you parked. God I loved that car! Enjoy Caleb!!!!

I nearly cried when it clicked for him! I could feel his excitement!

The paint job on that car is outstanding but I’m still TR - 9 person with wooden dash. This young man deserve this.

The BEST thing is seeing when great things happen for great people! Congrats Caleb!

Gee Caleb is one lucky fella to have parents that are so loving. I guess the next thing he needs is a do it yourself manuel for all the parts and what they do. Caleb so excited for you. Sending a Big Hug. Thanks and Love y'all

I own and race multiple Austin Healey Sprites, the MGB little brother... I have left my wife on the side of the road soo many times, but we still enjoy the feeling the wind in the face... And that feeling of being towed back in is the 'walk of shame'...

I started watching and couldn’t stop grinning the entire video. Such a great surprise for Caleb. One year owning an old car turns you into a Master Mechanic. 😂

Great episode! I just drove from Virginia to Florida over the 4th of July weekend to pick up my wife’s dad’s MG he bought brand new in 1980 so my daughter could use it to drive away in for her wedding. Such fun little cars.

What fun for Caleb!! He has been a great part of the channel for many years!

He is a wonderful young man. He deserves this. Good job guys

I’m sure Caleb will enjoy the MGB. He’ll learn a lot working on it every time something breaks or needs adjustment. Years ago my neighbor had one and it seemed he was working on it practically every weekend!

Oh wow... put me in tears... awesome surprise! Hope Caleb has a blast driving it!

So cool that you could do this for him. Thank you for sharing the surprise.

What an awesome family and the moment Caleb got it was too much thanks for taking us along

Fantastic! The entire episode was so fun! Yay, Caleb!

Very touching guys. Congratulations Caleb.

Oh my goodness, that was SO much fun! Congrats to Caleb!

Very excited for Caleb, I have a tear in my eye..... Congratulations !!!!!

Back in the late 90s I drove an 1971 MGB for years. Chrome bumpers, three windshield wipers, and spoked wheels. Amazing car. Get used to adjusting those dual SU carburetors under the hood. I found a glass glow plug that allowed me to see the color of the flame in the combustion chamber helped a lot with this process. :) Congrats Caleb! Very fun car!

Deja vu.. my parents gave me a 67 MG B for my 21st birthday. Thrilled.. I can identify. I'm 73 now.. great memories

Good to see you Trish, Mark, & Caleb. Congratulations Caleb. Very happy for you.

My uncle had 2 MGBs. He had similar issues. I remember them decorating his garage throughout my childhood;)

Congratulations Caleb!! Trish and Mark....you guys rock!

What a fabulous episode. How exciting for you all and especially, Caleb.

Oh my goodness! He is the best kid, always loved Caleb! So deserving! Congrats young man!
