I have asked the seller for more details, and if anyone is interested please drop me a note off the BBS and I will forward any reply I get to you if you are seriously interested in buying. Please do not mail me if you are just curious.

If someone is interested in buying it from Washington State (or neighboring states) I am happy to drive down and haul it back for them and check it over for safety etc.

This car is now availbe from the dealer who bought it at http://www.gullwingmotorcars.com/inv.php?action=display&autoID=921.

Ask price is $7950 but they should haggle as all they have done is ship the car to NY!

I have asked for the following from the seller:

Please can you send me more and better photographs of the car especially of the rear of the car as this is a weak spot for rust. Also of the chassis connection of the rear spring hangers where they meet the chassis, or at least report on whether the connection here is solid or flaky. A close up of the areas of the outer door skin panel bottoms would also be appreciated and also the bottom of the A post and B posts.

What condition is the chrome on the grille and bumpers in please? Rear bumper looks as if it has been shortened - these are impossible to get now. The wiring also looks as if a complete new loom is required.

Interior?? � seats, door panels, headliner, carpets?

Does the jacking system work? Presume it is still on the car?

Are the original tools with the car still - jack handle? Starting Handle? Various other wrenches etc.?

What is the mileage?

Please can you supply as many of the numbers from the brass plates that you will find on the left hand side of the battery box under the hood? Specifically there is one for the CAR NUMBER, one for the BODY NUMBER, and one for the ENGINE NUMBER so I can check the car with the MG Register

Buyer has responded. The car is still currently in California so they are unable to provide details. He is a dealer and the car is available for resale.

If you are interested in buying the car before it gets shipped to NY (and incurs more costs for the dealer to recover) drop me a note off line ... quickly as in 2 weeks it will be on the East Coast.
