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. $ 18,600. (stock #541)


1963 MGB Maroon Here is a very nice, no rust, California MGB that has recently been restored. This is a desirable first series MGB with the pull handle style door handles and a steel dash. The interior was totally redone with new leather seats, carpets, interior panel kit, motolita steering wheel, and a new Robbins top. The engine is strong with good oil pressure and compression, and is fitted with an electronic ignition and alloy valve cover. The transmission has also just been rebuilt along with a new clutch, tires, brakes, and front suspension bushings. The underhood detail work is very nice on this car. The body of this car is rustfree and finished in nice quality Damask red, with new bumpers grill, side chrome and wheel knockoffs. You couldn't restore your rusty MGB for anywhere near the price of this car which has never had rust ! This is a really sharp looking car that turns a lot of heads. $16,400 (stock #586)


1966 MGB An inexpensive California Black license plate early MGB. The engine has just had a replacement head fitted and runs great, the syncho rings in second gear are getting a bit worn but are still alright if you treat it with respect. The carpets, seat upholstery, and interior panels are all new from Moss Motors, and a new Robbins top has also just been fitted. The car drives great, and we have fitted new tires, installed new front suspension bushings and replaced the steering rack boots. The body is pretty solid being a California car, but would benefit from new paint at some point as the paint on the car is older and was an inexpensive job. Drive it away for $6,900 (stock #608)

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. $13,400 (stock #610)



1967 MGB GT Here is a desirable early steel dash version of the MGB GT that offers excellent value for the money. This US car has a pretty solid body and a recent, but inexpensive paintjob. We have gone though the car and redone the little things needed to make it a reliable driver. The engine is a decent runner with good oil pressure, fitted with a Weber carb, and an alternator for reliability. The early non-syncho first gearbox shifts well with no 2nd gear problems like most do, but first gear is a bit noisy as is common with these early cars. The interior is presentable but is older and shows some wear. A modern cd player and speakers have been fitted. The car is equiped with the rare & valuable authentic vintage Minilight wheels made in the 1960's and 70's, not the aftermarket reproductions that have been offered for many years. This car looks sharp, runs and drives well, and while it's a long ways from perfect, it is very good value for the money. $3,900 (stock #567)


1971 MGB Here is a sharp looking, good driving US car. This car is almost rust free save for a couple very minor isolated bubbles in the paint, and it does not show any evidence of ever being in an accident. The blaze orange paint is nice, but it is older so expect the odd chip and scratch. A new Robbins top has just been fitted, and the rest of the interior shows well. This car runs and drives nicely and is fitted with a weber DGV carburetor. We just redid the rear brakes, differential seals and front suspension bushings, and the tires are almost new. This is a nice looking, good driving, solid MGB that is ready for the next owner to enjoy. $ 6,900. (stock #599)

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)
