While I can understand the desire to make money on your "projects"don't
you think you are exhibiting a certain snobbism?I got mine screw the
others attitude?I can only afford the 1 MG I have. I am not fortunate
enough to have 7 or 8 sitting around and if the prices were higher I
wouldn't even be able to have the one I've got.I'll bet you bought your
"projects" for rock bottom dollar from the poor bastard you got them
from.MGs were originally untended for the common man and average
mechanic and I hope we don't try to push them up to some sort of status
symbol just to pad our pockets.I'll bve happy to sell my "B" when the
time comes at a loss if I have to IF I can sell it to a true enthusiast
and not a speculator who just wants to make some obscene profit.Last
year I was driving around and a guy waved me down and wanted to know if
I wanted to sell my "B" He had either a brit or aussie accent I of
course said NO but I suspect he was a dealer shipping them out at a huge
profit if we sell our cars to these people we won't have any good cars
left in the country and the prices WILL go up denying a lot of average
working stiffs like myself the pleasure of owning one.As for not being
able to afford to sell a restoration at a loss,why not? You would spend
thousands on a vacation and only have memories and not feel you would
have to break even You say the restoration process is theraputic what is
that worth?As I said before if you are in this for money you are here
for the wrong reasons...Pat
