1952 MG TD A sweet ride! Nicely restored 1952 MG TD with a very solid body and good wood. Power is supplied by a rebuilt Volvo B18 four cylinder motor mated to a Volvo four speed transmission. Volvo engine conversions were very common in the day and this one has been nicely done. The car drives well with new suspension bushings, rebuilt brakes, and new tires. The paint is new, panel fit is excellent, and there is no rust or accident damage. The interior is very nice with new carpet, new panel kit, new leather seats, a new Moto-Lita steering wheel, and a new black canvas top. New chrome bumpers, and hubcaps round out the restoration. This one is a sharp looker and is ready to drive and enjoy. $15,500.(stock #541)

1957 MGA Here is a driver MGA that we brought back from California. The body is good on this car with only a couple small dents, but the paint is an older inexpensive job that looks alright at first glance but is definitely not show car calibre. The bumpers and grill were replaced recently with new items and still look great. Mechanically the car is super - the engine has great oil pressure and compression, we just rebuilt the transmission, and a full brake rebuild was recently done. The minilight wheels and performance tires were new a few years ago. The interior is in average condition showing some wear, but still presentable and usable, the top will need replacement in the near future but is still functional. A nice driving and looking California MGA for a reasonable price. $12,500 (stock #609)

1956 MGA This California MGA is a major project, but the price is right. There are several bits that are missing, but most of the important stuff seems to be there. This car would suitable for a restoration project, or as a donor car for someone who has a really rusty or accident damaged MGA. Priced at $2,700 (stock #615)

1961 MGA This is an Arizona car that we brought back a while ago and intended on restoring, but we have too many projects ahead of us. Having lived its entire life in Arizona, the body is excellent as far as rust goes, but does have some dents to remove. There are many parts missing, including the powertrain. This car would be ideally suited to someone who has a rusty MGA donor car. $3,100 (stock #626)

1964 MGB We bought this MGB in California 15 or so years ago and sold it to a fellow with a rusty Canadian car who was going to restore it. Unfortunately the new owner didn't get far. The engine was replaced with a correct vintage engine that had been rebuilt 15 thousand miles ago - it runs good and has good compression and oil pressure. The body is in good shape rust-wise, but will need some dent removal and panel straightening. The driver side floorpan has been properly replaced with a correct replacement, but the passenger side will still require some patching or a new floorpan. This is a California early steel dash, pull handle door MGB that is a valuable car when completed, but will need a complete restoration. $2,500 (stock #635)



1964 MGB We brought this early MGB project back from California. The car was a bit of a hot rod in its former life. The car has big swaybars front and rear, negative camber A-arms, competition springs, a nicely fabricated panhard bar, and nice 15" alloy wheels fitted with wide low profile tires. Being from California the body is in great shape, the rear fenders have had tasteful metal flares added to accomodate the wider tires, and the hood and front fenders are fiberglass for reduced weight. The interior will need complete redoing, and the dash is fitted with a large array of Stewart Warner Gauges. The previous owner used the engine in a race car he had, so we fitted a good running stock early MGB engine that runs well and has good oil pressure and compression. $3,100 (stock #629)

1965 MGB This is one that is ideal for someone who has a rusty MGB as a donor car, or for someone to build a modified MG. The car came from an estate in Washington and has had a lot of work done already. The car has new floor pans, rocker panels, lower sills, lower front fender sections, and one lower rear fender section already installed, but there is still one fender repair section to be installed on the left rear fender. The transmission is there, but the engine and many other miscellaneous bits are missing. $1,800 (stock #636)


1966 MGB This is a really nice early MGB that has been mostly restored and was a California car until five years ago. The body and undercarriage are nice with no signs of rust, and it has recent red paint that is in very nice shape. Most of the brightwork is new, and the car has nearly new minilight wheels and tires. The interior is all new (seats, carpets interior panels) from Moss Motors with the seats done in leather, and a new Moto-Lita reproduction woodrim steering wheel. Both the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt within the last 3000 miles, and a new radiator and water pump were installed at the same time. This is a car that looks and drives great and needs nothing but a new owner to enjoy it. $11,900 ~~$13,900~~ (stock #610)

1967 MGB We brought this early steel dash MGB back from Montana. The car runs great and has good compression and oil pressure, as well there are receipts in the car for engine rebuild parts so I think it is safe to say the engine has been rebuilt not too many miles ago. The transmission is the correct early style optional overdrive gearbox which are nearly impossible to find. The body is straight and doesn't show signs of previous accident damage, but it will need rust repair done in sills and floors. This is a car that needs and deserves a restoration, but will be a high dollar car when completed. $2,400 (stock #641)

1973 MGB Here is an MGB that came to us from Pasadena, California. The body is almost totally free of rust except for a couple small bubbles just ahead of one rear wheel. However, there is also some poor body work and body filler evident by the left rear taillight and drivers door. The car runs and drives despite many years of storage. The driveline seems good, and the engine is strong with good compression and oil pressure but has a small coolant leak on the outside of the cylinder head indicating a small crack. Both the body and interior will need attention. Basically what we have here is a California MG with almost no rust, but needing restoration, and at a very attractive price. Drive it away for only $2,200 (stock #513)

1974 MGB Here is a very good original, unmolested MGB. This Oregon car has been off the road and garaged since the 1980's! There isn't a speck of rust anywhere, and the paint seems to be mostly original. The paint on the car is the rare factory color Citron, with paint that is over 30 years old there are flaws, but it is still very presentable. After being off the road for so many years the Brake system needed a complete renew, as well as new tires, and a complete new exhaust. The car has only traveled 73 thousand miles, and it has the desirable overdrive transmission. The interior is still all original and in good shape, but the top was old so we had to put on a new Robbins top, This is a real time warp car - untouched original cars like this are simply not found anymore. A nice looking driver with overdrive for only $7,500 (stock #646)
