So what happened to my B?

Out of the blue yesterday I received a phone call from a nice chap from Ohio.   Apparently he bought a blue MGB from someone in West Virginia in September and had been doing some online research about the car.   He came across my blog and thought the engine bay pics looked familiar.  Turns out he bought my old B!   We had a pleasant chat, and I have to say that I was pleased to hear that the car was in safe hands.  Happy motoring and safety fast!

Farewell to the B

Unfortunately my car was involved in a wreck (not my fault - I was stationary at the time). It was a total loss (although from the pic it doesn't look that bad). Anyhow, they came to take it away today.

I won't be buying it back, and I'll be getting out of MG ownership for a while I think. But I'll leave this blog up in case anyone finds it useful.

I would recommend getting an agreed upon value for your classic car with your insurer - this will reduce uncertainty about the insurance claim. Your best bet is to use Haggerty or some other specialty insurer.

So I'm signing off. Safety Fast and drive carefully!

1/17/2009: As a postscript - I learned today from my friends at MGExp.net that my car was sold at the auction for $2500 to someone in West VA. I hope they enjoy the car.

New (old) car

I thought I would like to keep track of what I do to my new MGB. So here goes. First of all lets have some pics.
