I am appreciative when I drive my MG and someone not only says "nice car, yada, yada, yada" but also inquires about "buying"  I've had this one around 30 years but when I sell it I don't care what they change, modify or alter.  And if it stopped running and broke down, unlike Paul, cash would be king. Fortunately, mine does not break down (yet) Mel
