There are a couple of MG-specific magazines which your local news-stand
might carry, or perhaps a place like Borders. You may wish to check those
out. There is also a U.S. publication called British Car, which is
published every two months. It covers all British cars, so it's not
MG-specific, but you might want to pick up a copy and see if it's of
interest to you.

There is a local club in Cleveland, the Emerald Necklace MG Register (look
at the "Local Chapters" link on the NAMGBR site). Hook up with them as
you'll be able to learn a lot that way.
You'll probably also want to view the MG Cars web site here:
http://www.mgcars.org.uk
Basically, since you want a late B, there will be a number to choose from,
and being rubber bumper, they won't be commanding as high of a price as the
earlier cars.
