Mike,
Yep, must be all those comp parts so readily available. Gee, can I get a new
cross flow head for my R16? And fiberglass rear springs and new comp cams
and springs?
Everytime I look at the British MGB members club catalog I just drool. All
kinds of neat stuff available nowhere else.
While I wouldn't think of trading my Roadster for a B it would be nice to
have all those parts available.
Mike
