They say that most of the MGs were exported to the US, but I saw what
seemed like an awful lot of them in Portugal this spring, including the
only MGFs I'm likely to see "in the flesh" for some time. One F was
parked in front of a cafe, so I took a table on the sidewalk and 'gazed'
for a while over coffee while my wife chuckled at me. The seating seems a
bit high and forward but I'd buy one tomorrow if the sold them here in
the states. Among others I saw an immaculate BRG BGT ('67 I think), and a
nice sidescreen Midget having what looked like way too much fun going
down a twisty mountain road in Sintra. I was taking a taxi down after
having walked up, and was very tired but seeing that little Spridget
drifting through the curves picked up my spirits (and made want to rush
home to mine.)

A couple of weeks ago i spent a week in Athens on biz -
i was surprised that i actually saw three MGs there! (which is more than
i see in CT in a week...)
a very nice 77-78 green B with British registration at the Nafsika Hotel
a pristine MGA with greek plates - nice guy driving it but didnt speak a
worg of english and a 64-67 red B (also greek) which shot past me at
about 110 in Glyfada!!!
