Walnut Creek, California, United States
!955 MG
TF 1500 LHD Rare opportunity to buy one of these very low production (3600) MG roadsters for
restoration. Five years ago this car was
a very nice older restoration (done in my shop in Northern California in in the
late sixties) and was being refurbished for sale after the owner stopped
driving. While work was in progress, a shop fire damaged the paimt and some
trim. The car was NOT in the fire area, but the radiant heat below the
insulated ceiling took its toll. During the work, three pieces of ash in the
wood body framing were found to need replacement and those pieces (and new
floorboards) are included but not installed. Always being a California car,
there is absolutely no body or chassis rust. The original 48 spoke double laced
wheels were replaced during the original restoration with the 60 spoke triple
laced wheels that became available for Triumphs. A Moss Motars tan leather
interior kit was being professionally installed at the time of the fire and the
seats - being away from the car are as new. Most chrome polishes up well, but
some items like bumpers, were only fair. Top and side curtains were stored away from the car.
The foam padded roll above the dash and the (replacement ) wood rim steering
wheel suffered.damage from the heat. The car was running at the time of the
fire. The car has its original XPEG 1466 cc engine with original carbs and air cleaners.
Advancing age tells me I should sell rather than doing the work in-house, but some of the parts needed will be available from stock at an advantageous price. Both buy-it-now and reserve prices will be under $13,000 Contact me for more description or additional pictures. Car may be inspected in Northern California zip 94598 near San Francisco. Delivery to docks for overseas shipment is available, but transportation within the US to be arranged by buyer..
