<font face="Arial"><font size="2">Hello Hans,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
All the very best<br>
Barrie<br>
