Hello. Since we've now been properly introduced, I can tell you that I
own three MG 1100's--two '63's and a '65. All of them ran and were
registered a few years ago, but two of them are now sitting on flat tires.
There's this phantom organisation named SPAM that I may find time to tell
you about although I haven't found the time to do anything about SPAM or
even work on my 1100's.

Grrr...

Tons and tons. Even the ones I've seen in wrecking yards (breakers)
are rust-free. The only rusty one I've seen had rusted through
floors from being left outside with no back window. So does this
mean that my 1100's are worth money over there? I know people who
ship cars to Europe. If I bought up every 1100 in Southern
California and shipped them over, could I make an obscene profit?
Only the British and Japanese seem to have the taste and discernment
to appreciate these fine cars.

Please do! I had the address on a tiny post-it note, but have
probably lost it by now.
