I was offered $7,000 for my 75 B last summer and turned it down. It is 
far from "Excellent" or for that matter "fine" but I've got well over 
$7,000 into it. It's different for each and every one of us. My passion 
with these cars is the drive. I've got about 4,000 miles on by two MGBs 
since 1/1/98. I'm running a little late now, got to log another 100 
miles on the 77 today. 
Safety Fast,
