Even though I want really want a roadster, if I had the money I believe I would consider this:

It seems like a top-notch job and a very cool car.



Have a safe and happy July 4th!

Man, what a nice job!

Not that it is necessarily significant. But there are completely different seats in two of the pictures.

Definately a nice looking car - and not a bad price I suppose. BUT - if I had the money, a Morgan +8 would be parked in my garage!

Dave....the unusual front seats are my product, I built them for David Duquette, the seller......they're Fiero seats that I modified to bolt right into his original seat mounting locations..then, I redid the foam & installed black leather upholstery onto which we embroidered the MG logo in sliver...they have speakers in the headrests & are fully adjustable....I'm pretty proud of them!

Tony - you should be proud of them - great job! Did you do the rest of the conversion?

No, the only part of the vehicle I was involved in was the interior...David had several vendors involved in building it & didn't spare any $$$'s. (I know, I sent him a grille that he rejected - & it was a beautiful NOS grille!)..that car is worth what its going for! I'm amazed he's selling...

Sounds like neat seats. One of the pictures must have been before he put the seats in. They are black in one photo and tan in another. Yours must be the black seats.

Yep...mine are the black ones!

If there is such a thing as the perfect MGB, that must be it! I cannot find anything about it that I do not just love. To the casual looker, it is just another MGBGT. It's a real sleeper. If it was just closer I'd be bidding on it.

This is one of those times I've posted about a couple of times. Man, I'd love to have a travel/car hauling rig to get good cars to all you guys that want them for little more than travel expenses. That's really what I want to do more than anything, but I'd have to hock the house to buy a rig that would end up costing me to operate. Still, it would be the most rewarding way I know of to see the country.

John, if it's just MGs and such, wouldn't a 3/4 ton and about a 14-foot trailer be adequate? Now my stepfather, he's been running around grabbing up 67 and 68 Imperials... I'm not sure HOW he's getting those beasts home.
