IMHO, this question started off as the insurance value of the cars. I know
that I'll
never get out of my MGB what I put into it, if I was to sell it. That doesn't
deter
me in restoring it at all. "The pleasure's in the chasing and not the
apprehending."

What I'm saying is that by working on this car, I've learned more than I ever
could
have by simply buying a restored MGB. So, for the average Joe who doesn't make
his
living off restorations and can afford it, restoring a MGB is measured in
spiritual
rather than dollar rewards.
