1949 MG TC

Ever since reading the Little Red Car book back in elementary school I have lusted after a MG TC. This is one of the good ones it is very well sorted mechanically and is a pleasure to drive. The paint and interior have just the right amount of patina… nice enough to make people go wow, but not perfect enough that you are afraid to use it. I am not certain that I really want to sell this one, but if you think you want it more than I do get in touch and we can talk. (stock #856) 

1960 MGA

This is a stunning MGA that we just completed a frame off restoration on. This was a southern California car that had no rust ever. All aspects of the car were restored or replaced to better than new. Unfortunately we sold the vehicle before it went on to our website. This is getting to be more common as people hear about or see cars we are restoring and complete a purchase before completion. If you are looking for a certain type of car let us know and we can keep you in  the loop and let you know when we might have something that appeals to you. (stock #728) 

1967 MGB

If you are looking for a MGB to restore, this is definitely the one you want - 1967 is generally regarded as the most desirable year. This is a MGB project like we used to be able to find them in California because it is! We brought this car back from California many years ago, sold it, and it was recently traded back to us on a restored car we had for sale - this car was last on the road in 1983 and has sat in inside storage since. The body is about as nice as you could hope to find, straight and not rusty. The engine has been rebuilt at one point in its like and runs well with good compression and oil pressure, but you can pretty much count on having to redo all the suspension bushings, hydraulic systems, and install new tires. Likewise, the top and interior will need a full replacement/restoration. The car is priced at $6,500, and we also have an early overdrive gearbox that has been gone over that can be had for and extra $1,500 if desired.. (stock #861) 

1970 MGB

If you are looking for a high quality MGB this is probably your car. We brought this car back from Arizona many years ago and have just finished up a restoration on it. The car was a nice straight car with original paint which we stripped down to a bare bodyshell and sent out for a repaint inside and out in royal blue. During reassembly, all seals and body rubbers were replaced as was most of the chrome, badging, windshield and grill. The chrome wire wheels, chrome knockoffs, rear spined hubs, and tires are also all new. Mechanically everything is excellent and ready to go. The engine is rebuilt, and is fitted with a new water pump, all new ignition components, stainless steel braided oil cooler lines, and a new radiator and hoses. A fully polished stainless steel exhaust system was also fitted. The carbs were rebuilt, and a new SU fuel pump was installed along with a new fuel tank and fuel sender. The overdrive transmission works as it should and has new seals, a new clutch and all new clutch hydraulic components. The differential has new seals, and new thrust washers, and the driveshaft has new u-joints. All brake components are new - master cylinder, wheel cylinders, hoses, pads and shoes, and rebuilt calipers. Suspension and steering are all fresh with new bushings all around, new tie rod ends, and steering rack boots. The car drives and handles excellent. The interior is really nice with everything in sight being new. A complete light tan UK made interior kit (seats, carpets, panel kit etc.) was fitted at a cost of more than $5K. The dash and radio housing console are also new, as are the inertia reel seatbelts, Moto-Lita copy steering wheel, switches, rebuilt speedo and tach, and embroidered MG floormats. The tan Robbins brand top and tonneau cover are also new, and the trunk is fully carpeted along with an MG logo carpeted spare tire cover. There are a lot more little things that I haven’t listed but suffice to say that this is an extremely nice car that you couldn’t come close to building for the price of $27,200  (stock #597) 

1971 MGB (Sale Price)

We have had this car in storage for over 10 years after bringing it back from Montana. This is another car we probably aren’t going to have time to restore anytime soon so up for sale it goes. I don’t think there is any rust repair to be done apart from one small hole under the drivers seat, but I can see that the dogleg panels have been replaced in the past. The last paint job was poorly done with peeling and a clear coat that didn't stick, so it should be stripped to bare metal. There are various bumps and dings to be taken care of as well as some surface rust in places, but the body should be a fairly straightforward part of the restoration. The chrome and brightwork is alright and could be used, but new chrome or a re-chrome job always makes sense on a restoration. The interior is in need of replacement, and the car also comes with a hardtop. The engine runs, but is weak so count on freshening it up or doing a full rebuild depending on your budget. The car is a standard 4 speed transmission, but we might be able to include a overdrive transmission for additional expense if desired. If you have never restored a MGB they are a simple straightforward car to do as long as you start with one that the body isn’t a rusted mess. A good project for $4,300 $3,300 (stock #607) 

1971 MGB (Sale Price)

This is another project that we have had in storage for many years and are probably not going to get to it. We brought the car back from Washington state many years ago. The body is pretty straight and will require minimal work, and the rust is minimal. The floors are good, but the passenger side castle rail should probably be replaced or patched, and the dogleg sections of the body will also need replacement. The hood will need some work or a new replacement hood could be fitted for reasonable money. We have had the engine running out of the float bowls, and it runs very well. The car is a standard 4 speed transmission, but we might be able to include a overdrive transmission for additional expense if desired. The interior will need a full redo. The car is basically complete and will make someone a pretty straightforward restoration project. Priced at $4,400  $3,400(stock #578) 

1972  MGB

We bought this MG from a long term owner who had significant restoration work carried out fifteen years ago, but the vehicle had recently sat unused for several years. We brought the car in to the shop and carried out several mechanical repairs as well as adding new seats kits from the UK along with new door panels. The car runs and drives great and is ready for a new owner. The car isn’t perfect but it is very nice and is an easy way to get in to MG ownership at a reasonable price. $9,600 (stock #858) 

1973 MGB – BRG

If you would like an exceptional MGB this is the one. This car received a complete top to bottom professional restoration and has had only 2400 miles since completion. All mechanicals were rebuilt and the engine received a mild performance built that results in a powerful yet still docile car. The car was originally a 4 speed , but we have just fitted a 4 speed with overdrive transmission, so relaxed high speed driving is now an option. New chrome wire wheels, and hubs were fitted during the restoration, and we just fitted a new tan sunfast canvas top to the car. Everything in the interior was replaced when the restoration was done, and the factory Ochre color interior (light tan) looks great paired with the dark British Racing Green paint. The paint and body are exceptional on this car, and any panels that weren't perfect were replaced during the course of the restoration and the body is as good or better than when it was new. There isn't anything not to like on this car it looks great, and is definitely one of the nicest MGB's that i have driven. $21,400 (stock #838)
