My CGT night mare is still in limbo so to fill in the void of "no MG"..I have a very clean 77 B roadster sitting in my shop that has been idle for about five years. I uncovered it and was actually suprised how straight and rust free it is. Has two small bubbles on each dog leg that I had already cut out and treated..and the rockers(and the rest of the car) are rust free. It has o/d and is a non wire wheel car. New top in the box, was originally blue with biscuit interior. It has an old set of steel wheels, so old it sports bias ply tires. I also have an extra hardtop. Today I'll push it outside and see if it fires, at least it'll take my mind off the mess.
 
There ya go, Jack...& everybody knows you can't own just one of them!
 
It was either the roadster or a real nice 68 BGT I bought from an estate sale. 60 some thousand original, parked since 75. Sheetmatal damage to front but runs like a new car. Has wires..non o/d but have a few o/d trannies rat-holed
 
I'd love a back up B that I could tool around town in. Real tough to find them up north. They are always rusty, covered in bondo or overpriced.
The GT wil be great in the winter sans snow, but it is real hot in the summer. A nice little ragtop would be cool.
