Oh wow! After reading the Fletcher book (MG Past and Present) I was all
fired up about pre-war MGs. Unfortunately the budget at present would
probably only stretch to accommodate a 1/43 diecast version of either.
[OT Rant: Some people think old cars are money pits, but they have
nothing on old houses, you can take it from me...]
