I've been slowly restoring this beautiful little car. In 2016 I had it painted and put on a new vinyl top. I was careful to keep the black MG racing strip across the bottom. I restored the inside window door sash as well. The interior is mostly original so seats are worn and the dash has a slight split. I have all the boot pieces for covering the top while its down. I had new tires put on it in 2013 and they still have less than 300 miles on them. I kept everything in the car in good working order. Melvin Automotive has done all the repairs except new muffler installed in 2014. A new clutch was put installed in 11, new fuel pump in and valves/gasket redone in 08. New brake rotors and pads in 15, new distributor cap, wires & plugs in 13. In 03 after market dual carbs where added to give it a little extra pep. Unfortunately, I drove it in January and after a couple of miles the piston broke. I parked it so damage to the block was avoided. I now live in an apartment so the car is no longer being kept in a garage. As part of the restoration process I had planned to rebuild the engine anyway before the piston issue. But since I no longer have a garage to work out of I won't get the opportunity to do it. Before the piston issue the car was valued at $7,500. I'd like to get $2,500 for it as is but will take the best offer that meets the minimum. I'd like to find it a good home.On Mar-17-17 at 09:08:51 PDT, seller added the following information: The body is in really good shape with the exception of a small rust spot on the passenger side lower rocker panel. I had it cleaned and painted over to prevent it from getting any worse. I did not attempt to put any "bondo" or the like on it.
