There are midgets and there are midgets - a local car lot has a 76 with a
rebuilt engine and iin in restorable condition for $2000 which i think is
about 500-750 too much - on the other hand, the venerable grey lady, The
New York Times had one and one only MG this past sunday, a 1979,
allegedly fully restored - asking $13,500

Then, theres a brige in Brooklyn............
