[Zmagnette] preservation

[webuck1 at cox.net]

Hi all,
My Magnette isn't even a chick magnet but, it drives, stops and turns some heads. When I attend the frequent free car shows most of the people look at my car and keep on going. Only the curious stop to look and chat. Doesn't matter to me. All I am trying to do is let the people see that 4 door MG's were produced.
As for preservation, I will go back to original color (what ever that will turn out to be) new carpet, new headliner and two rebuilt front seats and an engine rebuild. I drive my car all the time, everywhere, well almost everywhere. Steve, Do what you like with Millicent Rose. She is a beautiful car with some touch up to several items. Please the wife, please yourself. Does it matter what everyone else thinks? If it were a 100 point car I would never drive it. My thinking is cars were designed to drive and not sit in a barn for long periods of time. Drive it the way YOU like it.
Enjoy the Magnette(s) in your case. My MGB on the other hand will be mechanically almost original. The paint with it's two sunburns is not original at all. I love the color. It will sport a removable hard top too.
