One small piece of advice: When you perform a search from eBay's home
page or anywhere other than the automotive section, if you use MG as a
search term your search will yield a bunch of milk glass items that you
have to wade through in order to get to the car-related items. I use
MGB as my search term from the home page, even though that means I'm
missing some car-related items that don't use that term. When you're in
the automotive section, you can search for cars and/or parts. For some
reason, however, that has not reliably yielded all of the items that
I've retrieved when I've searched from the home page. I share Mark's
humble opinion.
