    OWLS HEAD — Buy the ticket, win the ride. You could be the next owner of a beautiful 1966 MG MGB while supporting the Owls Head Transportation Museum.

    The Museum is pleased to announce our third annual vehicle raffle. Following the success of OHTM's 2014 and 2015 fundraising raffles, the museum is excited to offer one lucky winner the chance to own a very fine example of a 1966 MG MGB Roadster. Tickets are $100 each and only 999 will be sold. All proceeds benefit Museum programs.

    With its reputation for sporty performance and its classic lines, the MGB has remained a beloved classic since it was introduced in the early 1960s. A low-maintenance, sporty and fun automobile to own and drive, this MGB is ready to provide its new owner with endless adventures.

    With 60,825 true miles on the clock, this beautiful MGB came to Maine from Florida in 2015. It is a superlative example of a well-sorted and well-maintained MGB that bears a near flawless restoration. In addition to this wonderful British classic, the winner will receive accessories to complete the MGB experience; including a brand-new fully-outfitted classic wicker picnic basket with upscale food and drink service for four, and a brand-new classic tartan wool picnic blanket by Pendleton™. These items are designed to fit perfectly on the luggage rack of the MGB, completing the classic look and feel of this head-turning automobile.

    The Owls Head Transportation Museum is proud to offer the winner of the 2016 raffle a chance to make the dream of owning a British sports car into a reality. For just $100 one lucky auto enthusiast will get an opportunity to have this fantastic vehicle in their garage. Raffle tickets can be purchased by phone, online at owlshead.org and on-site at the Museum. Terms and conditions apply, and can be viewed at owlshead.org.

    The winner of the 1966 MGB Roadster will be drawn on August 27,  at the Barnstormers Ball, OHTM's annual gala fundraising event. Tickets for the Barnstormers Ball are now available, and can be purchased independently of raffle tickets for $100 each. Barnstormers Ball tickets can be procured by phone, online at owlshead.org and on-site at the Museum. The theme of the annual gala is "Speakeasy Elegance." This "can't miss" event includes fine fare, drinks, live music, door prizes and more set amid the Museum's world-class collection of automobiles and aircraft.
