Owned for 6 years and covered over 40k miles but this time tomorrow will, for the first time in 15 years, be MG less as I sold my B last year.

It's going to a good home, but more importantly the entire proceeds will be going to a worthwhile cause. Following my wife's diagnosis with cancer in the spring of last year I felt, as many do, the need to put something back into the system which has helped her in a most remarkable way. Being a chronic asthmatic and having a prosthetic hip I could neither undertake a 10k run nor jump out of a perfectly serviceable plane. Brave the shave was not for me either, so I had a senior moment and decided to sell the ZT and donate the proceeds to Breast Cancer Care. I will have space on the drive for a replacement, an S-Type Jag, but if I had tried to part ex it I would have got little or nothing for it and it may well have been scrapped. So a win for the charity, it carries on, a garage loses out and I can see about getting a car of my dreams.
