Help Please (MGB GT)

[TypeRhys]

My dad needs to sell this car for his partner.
Neither of us knows where to advertise this or look for advice.

Could anyone on here point me in the right direction ?

Its an MGB GT, i think from 1979, 1800cc, in need of a restoration.
any idea what its worth.

Ill be handing out rep as i need advice.

Thanks Rhys.

underneath it all looks solid, it need a new paint job.
the engine is free, we are just waiting on a battery to get it started.

[marc666]

[Lorrie_VTR]

Oh.. and it has the chrome brightwork.. shame no wire wheels.. its worth a pretty penny in the right place.

Ask on MG owners club.. seen these go locally in that condition for 1500.

This one looks quite busy!

Also as its a 1970 car it can legally wear black plates!

[Wayne]

i would say it's worth abit if you got it restored to it's oringinal condition.

[betty02]

Saw a better condition one on pistonheads go for £400

that means nothing to me.

i want to sell this as it is. we dont have the money or space to restore.

not good news, but i wasnt expecting it to sell for much.....

Full spec matey, need something for the winter months. Although looks to be rust on the sills, arches and the waistline crease - could cost a pretty packet to eradicate. May need to view it, where are you located?

im from Abergavenny in South Wales.

yes there is surface rust, i had a good look under the sills, and all appears to
be in reasonable condition considering the age of the car.

i have seen much worse rust on my ex girlfriends k reg corsa lol.

as for spec list im unsure, there is a folder full of receipts so i will trawl through that for more info.

there is no doubt that this car will need a lot of work and the price of any
sale will reflect that.

[TypeRhys]

think im going to give this a good clean at the weekend, sort the paper work out and try and get it started.

then the big task of selling it will start !

[TypeRhys]

now on ebay people
