Vehicle Detail

You are bidding on a 1962 MGA Mark II that has been sitting for at least ten years. I spent all morning extracting it from an old garage (Tarrytown) in Austin. It probably has spent some time outdoors from the look of things. The elderly owner said it had not run in ten years, but the registration sticker is from 1988...go figure. She cried as I drove away with her lost youth...very touching. The owner "could not find the title", but I don't suspect anything irregular, and will press for it if the paperwork does not show up in my mailbox soon. Oh well, the car is complete and from looking at the VIN it appears to be one of the last MGAs made. Consequently, it has disc brakes and the "big" 1600 engine. I bet that I could get it running with a little effort, but with the wood floors rotted away and the rusted trunk floor (and other little places) it seems perhaps too far gone to bother with. This MG is probably too good to part out, but I will let you be the judge of that. Those beautiful chrome wire wheels with the fat Michelins are borrowed from my Austin Healey for the trip home and don't come with the MG. It has five ancient wheels and tires that hold air at least long enough to get it on a trailer. The winner must make a deposit of $100 via PayPal within 24 hours and pay the remainder within seven days via EFT to my bank. Transportation is up to the buyer, but I will endeavor to be of assistance. For you pesky foreign buyers, I will drag it to Port of Houston for a small fee. Be sure and check my feedback...buyers really like my stuff. NO RESERVE! Thanks for bidding, Mike 512-695-8637
