I don't know about that, they seem to turn up in the Chronicle 
classifieds under "Classics" from time to time, and occasionally in those 
AutoTrader papers. But I would think you'd need to hit the Internet as 
well. And of course clubs are a good source. Don't forget the "exotic 
car" dealers, though they can be overpriced, and the specialists, like 
O'Connor in Santa Clara -- he always has several MGs on the floor.
