>>>I still have my 1968 MG B roadster that I bought new in France. It ran when I parked it in 1984 but I let it sit for 3 years while I bummed around the world.

>LOL. I have friends in the UK who found a cobwebbed MG parked up in the disused garage of a vacant flat they bought. Turned out the car was bought by a doting US millionaire father for his son attending University in the UK in the late '50s. The son drove around in his MG like a star, entertaining the local women and having a blast until it was time to return home to a society wedding and life of prestige- at which point the car was parked up and abandoned for 40 years. That's wealth for you. Are you one of those? ;-)
Your friends may either get a greeting car or a notice from a lawyer... depends on how Sammie feels now that his car was found :).
