[Mgs] Without my MG

[Windows 10]

Hello Hans,

Oh my oath !! How could you sell your MGB GT ? .   I built an MGB GT V8 
from scratch and I love it.   I too got short of garage space and took 
the choice of selling my Aston Martin DB 2/4 MkII or the MGB and the MGB 
GT V8 won   - I know that is strange but the value of the Aston did 
restrict my vroom vroom enjoyment - the V8 gives me that without the 
financial worry.

As I have hit 90 my resto days are over so the MGB gives the pleasure I 
need.   Oh but I am heavy into my other hobby - antique maps - see photo.

All the very best
Barrie
