1. Only if you buy my 2 MGs.
I have a 1954 MGA and a 1970 GT I'm getting ready to sell.
I'm keeping the '66 MGB and the 1932 J2.

Beautiful car, BTW! Have you posted it
on the UK eBay site?
Good luck with your sale!

2. ahh, if only I could
I'd love a BRG MGB (of course, at 6'6", I could never fit in it.

maybe next year I'll be able to. And I'd even love to drive it to the East Coast...

4. I'm 6'1" and I have to move the seat forward.
They are renowned for their roominess. I've had a few LBCs and the MGB is one of the few I've felt comfortable in.

Try driving a Series 1 Lotus Seven! No legroom, and the pedals are so close together that I had to drive with my shoes off.

5. yeah, my major problem is head room
my legs are short (I have a 34 inch inseam) but my torso is really long (I wear a 44 Extra-long, hard to find) and my neck and head are long. So I tend to look over the windshield of most convertibles.

3. I had to laugh about the reference to Tofino.
There is a B& B that my Sister & family go to every christmas, they absolutely love it. It is really a hotel right on the shore but it appears to be very nice.

I'd buy your MG, I like leyland products had a real fun 69 e type roadster in my younger days. But I have a little seizure issue now that keeps me grounded, much to my chagrin. I refuse to just collect the damned things, I do know how to hotwire them (misspent youth).

6. I really do wish I could have bought this from you.
Unfortunately I can't financially commit at this time. x(

Oh well, you have a winner at least.
