>>>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? ;-)

late 50s MG should be even before Midgets, so one of the distinguished A before MG turned to the boxy look ? They are nicer to look at than Austin Healey Frogeye, even if lacking some of the cuteness appeal.

>>>BTW I turned it over to a shipping company at Rhine-Main for shipment back to the US.

Now don't tell me that here is a treasure trove of english Roadsters sitting in Rhine/Main storage ;-)
