Personally,  The first thing I'd do is give my 99 Miata to my girlfriend.  I
wouldn't need it (because i could afford to keep the MGs running) and it
preempts her step-father giving her a Mini upon college graduation.  I do
not like the man and she'd much rather have the Miata.

After that:
do a V8 swap on the 71 B
buy a nicer, more classic B (maybe a 63/64)
fully restore (with period mods) the 61 Midget
Buy a warehouse.
Proceed to fill with various MGs and a few other things like an Alfa Romeo
Duetto (or a Guilletta, or both)  I dunno... I know they're Alfas and, thus,
don't stay running long at any one given time, but i always liked them, and
with multi-millions I can afford an Italian mechanic.

Of course a Lotus Elite, Elise (new and old), Elan....

Have to have a Jag E-type, XK120....    Do a manual tranny swap on an XJS
V12, too.

And a DeLorean just for the hell of it.

And yeah, I could drive any one of those any day (with multi-millions, who
cares about depreciation?)
