Location of the vehicle pls Ty
I think it would make the trip, spare is good, all hoses replaced, and recently replace valve cover gasket, so not leaking. Years back I drove a Volvo P1800 from Phoenix to Toronto. It made it, but obviously not the easiest of trips without ac. Lots of stories to tell though.
How would it do on a long trip from you to Florida?
The clutch engages as it should. I don’t have an invoice, but it’s clearly been replaced. The top is in good shape. I little cloudy on the rear window, but not an issue to see through it.
How is the top for the MG? Was the clutch ever changed?
Good morning fellow British car enthusiasts. With a little over 2 hours remaining, please let me know if there are additional questions. Very nice example. Mechanically sound, rust free, with new paint and interior. Thanks for all the bids.
BID: $8,250
Good afternoon. Car does not have emission sticker. The car was undercoated prior to my ownership. Being a California/Arizona car, it’s completely solid underneath. Assuming this Mg finds a new home, new owner will be very pleased.
BID: $7,800
@Dwayne3618 – Good afternoon fellow MG enthusiasts. Thank you for the initial bids. These cars are getting difficult to find in this condition. Car is mechanically sound. Runs and drives very well without any synchro issues. Chrome is in excellent shape, and I’ve had the car resprayed and interior done in the last few months. I’ll be checking site periodically to answer all questions. ...
Does it still have the emissions sticker? If so would you be able to take a picture of it? Do you have any pictures of the bottom before it was undercoated? Thanks.
Good morning. Thanks again for the continued bids. I had the car painted approximately 1 month ago. Chrome was not redone since it was in excellent condition when I purchased it.

Ypou said you had the car resprayed, do you mean the body was repainted or the chrome was redone? Thanks
