Welcome to carsanddogs1970, 2 guys on a mission to locate and procure valuable automobiles and provide good service to enthusiastic carbuffs. We have had great fun with both happy and tough customers alike. Our intention is to supply good cars for restoration and all we ask for is your ernest questions and 100% follow thru. Now about this Mga: Several years ago I responded to an advert about a sunbeam alpine for a good price. I traveled to the location and found an amazing older gent with a yard full of precious machinery. Not only this Mga, but an assortment of motorbikes, 5 sailboats, an ultralight airplane, ford trucks, an airstream trailer and so on. The man had many problems with the local bureaucracy for hoarding. The machinery and cars were all neatly stored, covered and out of sight. One grumpy neighbor had "ratted him out" and so with great disdain he sold me the sunbeam. I offered to buy any of the other great cars but he was not interested in the slightest, and sold me his worst car. Fast forward 5 years and my partner,Chatman, had found a rough tr6 for a great price and urged me to come along. Having had many tr6's in the past I wasn't that fired up about it, but went along begrudgingly. As we closed in on the location I began to suspect we were headed back to the old gents residence. My suspicions were confirmed! We indeed ended up at Edwards house and bought not only the tr6, but 5 other vehicles that will be available as they are cleaned up and made presentable.We have had a dozen Mg's and such at this point. They are great fun when sorted and running well, which isn't the easiest feat. This Mga runs ok enough to load on a truck. It will need carb work and ignition work I suspect. The engine runs well at times and doesn't smoke, rattle, knock, or make any unsettling noises. The other times it intermittently sputters and needs feathering of the throttle to keep it lively & well. The clutch feels very strong, although the release point is near the top. It grabs enough to make the car leap forward from a stop. Brakes will hold on an incline and bring the car to a halt. I would go over the brakes to be confident at highway speed. The body is not rusty. There is no thru rust anywhere on the rockers, rear quarters, doors, lower front fenders or trunk. This car was sheltered and covered for many years. I have a ton of registration cards showing ownership to have spanned decades under Mr. Swan. His cars were his friends and he always kept them wrapped up tight. It has the best body of any of the british cars I have owned and could go straight to paint without tedious rust repair. There is one dent on the lower front valance that will need attention. The body has no other dents and appears to be free of filler. The interior will need quite a bit of attention. It is complete, but tired. The operating systems will need careful attention and re-assembly. The panel that covers the rear deck is missing and will need to be replaced. The light system is working but will need further sorting to be fully operable. If you've made it this far, I won't bore you with anymore words of my own. Please feel free to make an offer and all well intentioned offers will be considered. This is an "AS IS" sale with no refunds full or partial. Please ask any questions prior to bidding and this car is titled, in my name and currently registered. world wide shipping to your doorstep, this is a solid car! harris.
