All,

     Understanding the lists understandable bias towards Triumphs, I have a
question.  I know that several of the listers have or have had a MG.

     Next month I will be returning from Indiana with my high school  and
college sweetheart (a 1974 1/2 MGB).  Presently, my daily driver is a 1980
Spitfire.  The MG will take some work to get it running, but is otherwise in
good condition.  It has been garaged for about eight years.
     I would like to do a frame up restore of one of these cars and use the
other as my daily driver.  My question:  Should I restore the MG or the
Spitfire?  What are the pros and cons of either?  Expense?  Ease of
restoration?  Other considerations?


                        Thanks,

                                Rob Schuck
