This club and its gurus and the likes of XPart , Rimmers DMGRS do an excellent job. Yes some parts are under par - but we are still getting parts. I personally think we do well and our cars will be quickly recognized as classics at a younger age than some due to the enthusiasm about them.
I work with a lad in his 20s. He doesnt talk much. And when he does its usually kind of dark - as in he's always down in the dumps. He shocked me the other day when he started talking about cars and out of the blue said "I really like your blue MG...its a really nice car" - see its not just older peeps that are starting to see them as special!

I agree, and I must say your MG is my favourite shape and in the best colour.
Think I need to find one in good nick while they are still cheap.
I drive past one like yours on a regular basis and I keep thinking I may call at the house and say. "if it's ever for sale, this is my phone number"
