Sven - we all learned this stuff sometime - NEVER fell bad asking a
question! -I think there were several replies to your post but for
clarity........

still not

MG. 

It stands for "Morris Garages"

documents

These days you wont find it other than in history books!! - and for your
own enjoyment
you might seek out a few - MG has a fascinating history!! - also, I know
there is an MG club in germany - the address is on the MGCARS website -
Im sure you can find lots of books locally


>1) never admit to be new to a mailing list related to famous cars

Wrong-  unless that is what you choose - if nobody new ever joined we'd
all die like dinosaurs (also our "evil-streaks" wouldnt have anyone to
play with!!)

>2) if you want answers to basic question you better go to a library

sure but feel free to ask as well, as a result of your post, Kai made a
website of FAQs - im afraid i didnt jot the address down but im sure Kai
will read this and likely repeat it to you

Nor should you - F**K 'em if thaey cant take a joke! (English
expression!)
 because in east germany there are many

Seen some of them - and those scary cardboard cars!
Stick with it - your son(or grandson) will be restoring your car someday
and He'll ask the same things!
