Send to new owner and keep copies. I am thrilled to have the papers for my car, which happens to show it was first registered on my birthday. How odd! Mine was registered on my birthday by chance as well! perhaps this is a Morgan 'thing'!

I had a huge pile of concours trophies for my white MGBGT. Initially we had them on display in a glass fronted cabinet, but eventually MrsW got sick of them, so they were banished to the loft. When I sold the car I parted with them all, except for the first and last trophies, and an engraved glass tankard.
When I sold my BV8, all the trophies went with it, except for two. One was an engraved piece of glassware from an invitational Concours at the Silverstone Classic when MG was the featured marque. Really though they should all have gone with the cars. I disagree Dave. The car was the result of your hard work. You earnt the awards.

When I bought the Aero, there was no mention of a build book, so it was a nice suprise when it turned up in the post several weeks later.

I know what you mean Martin but the trophies would have languished in the loft and would still be there. I have the few I saved in the garage on a shelf. They were good times.

I have a Bluesbreaker Marshall guitar amp. Did you know Dave, that Eric Clapton owned this car when he was playing with John Mayall. I do not know if it was a V8. He asked Jim Marshall to build a guitar amp that fits exactly in his car, a MGB GT. Marshall built it and since that time it is an evergreen amp in the guitar world.

Got your CSI signature all over it but without a single mention of the N word I notice - you must have been saving your roll ups for the mogs.

I was new into the neoprene scene then........
Just a piece on the garage wall to stop the door hitting it.
No neoprene used on that rebuild although I did use some rubber sheet!!
