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.

I've been reading your blog from time to time to get advice for my car, an identical 1977 MGB (even of the same colour!). I've also been chronicling the work done on it on a blog (mymgb.blogspot.com) as an aid to others getting into the hobby. Sorry to see yours go! I think I'd be devastated if anything happened to mine!
Thanks for the comment! I checked out your blog - the flames in the
engine look pretty scary!!
You should be using 50W oil not 30W I think. Check out www.mgexperience.net for more tips.
Although it is sad to see the B go, I think you have to put it in perspective - it is just a car - a very cool little car - but still - just a car.
Richard: Yep, just a car, but if you have been bitten by the "bug" as I have, you find it a pleasurable hobby and a lot of fun to help keep the marque alive. Find another car and don't waste all your knowledge and enthusiasm for MGs. Happy New Year! Mike
Thanks for the comments Mike. I think that at some point I will get back into B ownership, but at that point it will be to own an older CB car as more of a trailer queen rather than a daily driver.
I still read MG magazines cover to cover!
may she rest in peace :(
