Bill,
If this does not work out to your satisfaction, maybe we (the Spridgets
listers), could find a way to caravan your MG from coast to coast. I
would be willing to get it out as far as feasible on my trailer if
someone in the mid-eastern states (Ohio or Illinois or ?) would be
willing to take it from there (and so on). If there are not enough
listers with trailers to accomplish this maybe it could be done with a
(point to point) rental trailer. Time frame for me would not be until
mid December or January.
On the other hand - There is an SOS meeting in the midwest on
Thanksgiving weekend.... Maybe transportation could be coordinated
with that ;)
