>> In my case it was the other way.
>> Being a real novice, I bought my 1971 BGT in 1990.

>> I only got the import papers with the car and that was it.
>> It took me several years to get the car roadworthy (4 young kids consumed

>> Although the inspection officer said the car was at a superb condition,

>> Having helped the best man with all relative info of the Dutch MG CC, I
