And I sold these a couple of years back because I got sick and don't have a lot of energy any more

your caption says "MGBGT" Like I said, you want a V6 and A/C

Could be ... I'm thinking about what to do with it... Maybe a V-8..... Maybe a Lemons racer just as it sits... if falls under the value threshold.
Could it be I always wanted a GT...not really... I owned a 70 and two 72's
Could it be because it has a well used Webber along with a Cannon intake...not really... doesn't seem to be the hot ticket any longer
Rust free body.... hardly
Neat interior .... again no way...
Because it appears to be the one year only beudian ( however you spell it ) color originaly.... nope
Special engine.... no tag and the head has no injection ports ... so no I'll have to sort that out
OD tranny.... nope
So why would I drag this thing 60 miles home?

This was the reason.... when I opened the passenger door and saw this brand new, unblemished, never installed piece of unobtainium on the seat, Figured it was a sign that I should bring it home, Didn't hurt that new side pieces were there as well as a new wiring harness.

Because you have the MG bug. Plan and simple. It is a disease. We need an MG anonymous. Oh wait, we have these web sights to get our support.

It's a sickness... I have no solid plans for it yet. Hopefully I'll have my friends TF done in a couple of weeks and then give it a proper going over.
