I am fortunate to have won this MGB via Hagerty Marketplace auction.  It's all that was advertised via photos and videos.  Receipts of prior work done since 2012 by prior owners were included.    I've had to do a few manageable repairs some by me and a local repair shop.  Rear brake wheel cylinder leak...replaced and bled system. My radiator fan was not operating and she was running hot.  I brought her (&quot;Maggie&quot;) to Ike (Khari Euro Cars) for him to check it out.  He suggested a new thermostat (180 degree) and a cooling fan switch (Moss).  OK!  So, the fan is designed to turn on and off at predetermined temperatures via the fan switch.  The problem is the fan turns off when I shut the car down. Is that a problem? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
