I would like to know the pro & cons regarding the purist vs the hedonistic approch to maintaining the MG integrity. If I do something to the car that I really want , do I truly devalue it or do I nee

Hi Debbie, Great question. I've been amazed, fascinated, appalled by the questions that I keep seeing pop up on this list. I guess I'm a purist at heart. I have been working at the restoration of a 5

This may ruffle a lot of feathers, but whose name is on the pink slip? If it's yours, do what gives you the most enjoyment. Many people get enjoyment from keeping their cars exactly as they were on t

I vote hedonistic. It's a car, enjoy it. Your LBC is probably worth less than the typical car anyway, you probably didn't buy it for investment purposes. Remember there might even be people who like

The value of these cars at this time is still pretty much driving value. Except for a bit for the As and a bit more for the Ts. But most of these cars change hands for people who want to drive them,

Okay, my $0.02. Here's my philosopy, and it's a pretty vague one. I think it really depends on the age and rarity of the car. For instance, if you have a very early B, I wouldn't molest it, as they h

Alot has to be said about your intentions with the car also. Personally, I intend to pass my MGB on to my children in my will, so I don't feel as strongly about cutting speaker holes in the back deck

I agree, but as I said, I almost have sort of a feeling of responsibility to the heritage. Many folks may not feel this way, and that's entirely their perogotive. I kind of like having little idiosyc

IMHO Cars are money sinks! Cars are NOT investments. At least the type of cars most of us can afford. If someone wants to invest their money - there are much better places to do it - better return &

Hi Debra, What you have asked is one of those questions that gets "Definite Maybe" for a reply. Perhaps it depends on what you really want and how much cutting up of the car one needs to do. Changing

You're right, when you're talking about short term. When he was referring to willing the cars to his kids, I was thinking of at least another 10-15 years. I lot can happen in that period of time. Reg

Along these lines, does anyone know if wire wheels were an available option on all years of MGB's? I think i read somewhere that in '74 it wasn't an option. Someone please prove me wrong, I don't wan
