MG TD TF 1500 - Not T related, but MG

I am assisting a family friend clear out some british cars he has. Will be finishing a full interior restoration and installing a set of wire wheels he purchased on a 79 spitfire. 55,000 miles and paint looks like it will clean up nicely.

The other car is a 1958 MG Magnette VB, and I need some thoughts on what it should be listed for sale for.

Car was running when it was parked, but it has been outside in sacramento CA weather for a lot of years. Some bubbling on the front driver door and rear passenger door and the floorboards have holes. Dash is badly delaminated but the seats are in pretty good shape. No tears or holes.

Grill, bumpers and exterior chrome other than the front windshield trim is in very good condition. No dents and chrome appears ok.

I will be moving both cars to my house and will clean up the Magnette and see if I can get the motor running.

I posted this on the Magnette page, but there are only a few listings there so I thought I would check with the T group.

Hi Bruce, the model is ZB and I'm sure others will add to this when they wake up.

Of course it is a ZB. In assisting with these cars, I am also negotiating on a 49 YT that is in the garage, so my thinking is a bit off.

Here is a picture of the ZB

Front Seat.

Everything is there on this car. Some water damage to door panels, and the dash is pretty much all delaminated. Checked the body with a magnet and don't find any plastic filler,

Floors will need replacing as there are a number of rust holes. Have not gotten under it yet, but should have it at my place in a week or so and will clean it up and go over it more closely. I am hoping I can also get it running. It was running when it was parked, so the chances are good.

Thanks Bruce. I admire your courage. Jud

Any thoughts on a reasonable price to set on the YB? It appears that some things, like grills are up there in price.
