    DON'T buy it. Not this one anyway.

    If you REALLY want a Spridget, then buy a pre-rubber model, pay a little bit more, and get one that needs very little doing to it.

    I only say this, as you don't sound as if you are either able and or keen, to immerse yourselves in a financial and time consuming "project".

    It sounds more to me, as if you would simply like to own one for the p...

  • J. Sanders09 February 2012

    Thank you both for your replies. Everything I've read here and in other threads has been so helpful.

    The gentleman selling it has graduated med school and is moving halfway across the country and says he just can't take it with him. Whether that's true or not is neither here nor there other than to say he's somewhat eager to sell. Believe me, I'll be checking the car over as carefully a...

    I am always suspicious if a seller lists things that are simple to fix. Mainly because if they are simple, then why doesn't the seller fix them before advertising and sell a better or near-perfect car?
    Like a car that is offered for sale and the seller has not washed and tidied it up for the photos. Makes me think that either there are paintwork faults that they hope to conceal, or at the very...

    Good to see progress. 'One day' BRB will have its heater housing designed into heater tray, to put back some strength. Colin of Lotus would never have approved of all that steel in the heater box adding zero strength o=to the car.

    Success, I took the axles, backing plates and hubs to a MG mechanic about 20 k's away, had them off in a couple of minutes, helps if you have BIG air pressure and a $800 rattle gun.
    Should have the chassis done and back on 4 wheels this weekend.

    Hi Jen

    It all depends on how much of the work you will do yourself.
    Rear main seal for example is an engine out job.
    Not difficult (most jobs on these cars are not that hard) but time consuming so expensive to have done.

    The key part on these cars is rust!!
    Even if the seller says it is rust free look for it every where.

    An other important factor is buying the rig...

  • NICE RESTORED '52 MGTD

    As nice a '52 TD that you will find. Cream with red leather interior and proper matching red grille slats.

    Less than 200 miles since frame-off restoration. Details you wont find in most restorations such as underdash panels and proper felt lining in tool box and sidecurtain pocket. Sunfast canvas top and tonneau cover.

    Sidecurtain frames were restored but not covered. I will provid...

  • 1954 MG TF

    1954 MG TF. A southwestern car until 2011. Wood is great, no rot. Only rust on sheetmetal is toolbox front by battery. White car originally, painted green in the sixties by second owner.

  • 1955 ARNOLT MG ONE OF THE RAREST OF MG

    There were very few Arnolt MG�s ever produced and this particular car has already had a lot of time and money put into it. The restoration on this coupe was not completed because of the passing away of the owner. Body work is all finished and new leather interior installed. Original engine is still with the car and all other components to complete are included. This is An excellent investment op...

  • 1967 MGB RED

    I find it fitting that it was from this site that I found and bought this car in 2002. It has been a joy to own and drive. I've met wonderful people along the way, and enjoyed meeting strangers as they admired the car.

    Alas, family changes mean it is time to sell. I'll post pics later, or email me directly.

    This is a 1967, in wonderful shape. It has run like a top since day one...
