Yes this acquistion means that "Blue 33" will be up for sale soon and until she sells I will indeed have 3 MGF's well actually there is the shell of the VVC project still so that's more like 3 and a bit MGF's!. There are a a few little things like the lower speedo cable that broke on the way home from the Derbyshire Peaks run and get the wheel alignment checked again after the O/S/F lower ball joint was replaced that I have to sort out. With this in mind she is going to a valeters to have her soft top cleaned and the mould built up over the winter killed and a good clean inside and out.
We shall then take her somewhere to get photos ready to offer her for sale. MOT is no problem as she in tested until 23 rd Feb 2016. I shall be sad to see her go as I have not got all I wished to do on her completed but she looks good and drives well plus I was only her second owner

I love the 75th and it's trim and the colour
and well I actually hate the boring drab so faddish graphite and grey and silver. I also recall that nearly all the cars we had in my young formative years had red seats and i simply love red as a car interior.
I have "Elsie" my VVC which I am keeping and will continue to mod and improve as and when I can the 75th will be mainly kept as standard. I may upgrade the brakes and of course fit a servo brace as after all she will be driven
and I know that AP's will fit under the LE Multispoke wheels
other things like exhaust we will ahve to wait and see what condition it's in before making a call on that.
Have already book marked a vendor of the Walnut trim kits and that gear knob will be going straight away. I have a nice wooden MGB/Midget type one waiting already
and the Wooden one also shortens the gear lever a bit .............................. My hope is that it will be possible to get this 75th all fixed up and on the road for the Kirkby Rover rally. A lot will depend on how well "Blue 33" sells. Right now am awaiting a cheque to clear and once it does we have the funds to pay or the car and a bit towards the transportation from Tamworth to home near Boston. Some unexpected costs which have a habit of popping up at just the wrong time have put their oar into things like vets bills
have made things a bit more challanging than normal.
