Ken,
There is/was a fellow in the Cleveland, Ohio area who I helped obtain an MG 1100
a decade ago. I remember some of his experiences with the cars. His name is Bill
Eberhardt, and he became quite expert with those models. I haven't seen him in
years, and don't know if he is still actively involved with MG's, but we could
certainly find out if needs arise.
