Just dropped the car off at the mechanics... a mate followed me in his van and dropped me home... drove 15 or so miles along the A30 much of which is unlit and National Speed limit at around 30 - 40 mph with a fair queue of traffic behind me... I feel I am not a popular man around these parts...
now using this guy at MAC Motors MG , he did all the tricky stuff to get my car through the MOT last year, seems like a good guy... why I did not call him in the first place, I have NO idea...

just spoke to the mechanic, initial diagnosis is good, he think, it may not be a new clutch.... apparently the arm (?) is seized, and he has freed it off and it already runs better... he has suggested that he can sort this, send it away, and let me see how I get on.. bottom line is, he thinks it will be a good deal cheaper....
at last some good news!
Stay tuned for more updates... I will be talking to him after lunch.....
I drive the car daily... and it happened on holiday in Devon!
