[Nobbc] need a nice MGA? It's sold

[Greg Tatarian]

You are quite right, Don, particularly if the word has made it far and 
wide, and the car is good. This one sounded good, and obviously someone 
thought it was. I've missed out on a few by not acting quickly enough.

Are you doing the Craigslist thing with your BGT? There are many other 
avenues, so if you really want it sold, they might be good to pursue.
