I am relisting this car because even though it sold on E-bay, the buyer was unable to complete the purchase. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO TITLE. This car will be sold on a bill of sale only. That is how I bought it, and that is how I’ll sell it. It is pick up only. But if you arrange for the shipper to come, I will assist them in loading. I bought this car in 2005 as a retirement project, but I have not worked on the car since I bought it. The pictures show all the parts and pieces that come with the car. And it has been in an attached garage since I bought it so there is very little rust. This would make a very nice sports car if restored. I thought about putting a Geo Metro engine in it, since that engine has as much power as the MG 4 cylinder, but would get around 50 miles per gallon. There are two instrument panels, one that looks original and fairly complete, and one that looks like the previous owner tried to create a custom IP. You get both. I also have three windshields. There is the original Midget windshield, and I planned on changing to an MGB windshield so there are 2 of them, although one is cracked. There are active MG clubs around that can help you find parts. This will be a big job to completely restore, but there is a lot here, and the car is solid. It is just a bigger project than my skills can handle. I did do some investigation, and a GM V-6 will fit. I am selling my condo and moving, so if you buy it, you will need to come and get it within a week or two. Also, I am selling it to raise money for two people I care about, so please don't waste my time with lowball offers.
