Yea Dave I've had my coffee I still don't see the use of wanting to
inflate the prices of these cars, will that make them more desirable?or
will it just take them out of the hands of the average guy and put them
in the hands of only the well to do,if you buy a car and dump 4~5000 to
get it right thats fine but don't bemoan the fact that it may not be
worth it and no one will buy it at that price.No I don't think someone
who who works on MGs and makes a living should take a loss We are
talking about our hobby here and should be able to separate the hobby
from the monetary aspect.I understand your concern with the future of
our hobby but I think keeping them reasonable will promote the hobby
rather than making them too expensive Then everyone will think he is
sitting on a gold mine and the cars will just sit and rust because no
one will be able to buy them,as someone else said take them out and
drive them tell everyone who is interested just how cheap they can be to
own, promote the hobby by example.This reminds of the time I went out
for a drive and came apon a Mi&^ta and we raced back and forth across
Godde pass and stopped at the bottom to talk when I told him I had paid
3500 for it you could see his mouth drop when he realized he had spent
20 grand for his.These cars are a very good value and I hope they stay
that way .....Pat
