LISTING THIS VEHICLE FOR OWNER. I AM A LICENSED DEALER AND REPAIR FACILITY. THIS MG-TC CAME HERE AFTER A 15-16 YEAR INSIDE STORAGE. OWNER WANTED TO GET IT RUNNING AND PREPARE IT FOR SALE. THIS MG-TS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR IT HAS VERY NICE RE-DONE UPHOLSTERY. PAINT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD SHAPE. THERE IS NO BODY RUST ANYWHERE. FRAME IS SOLID AND STRAIGHT WITH NO SIGN OF ANY REPAIR. INSTRUMENTS ALL WORK,SWITCHES ALL WORK. LIGHT ALL WORK. AFTER NEW SPARK PLUGS, CARBURATOR CLEANING, OIL CHANGE, CYLINDER LUBRICATION, ENGINE FIRED RIGHT UP WITH 70 PSI OIL PRESSURE. ROAD TEST SHOWED GOOD WORKING CLUTCH AND SMOOTH SHIFTING TRANSMISSION. BRAKE WHEEL CYLINDERS NEEDED TO BE FREED, BUT ARE NOW WORKING FINE AND NEED NO MORE WORK. THE ENGINE RUNS SMOOTH AND MAINTAINS GOOD OIL PRESSURE. ONCE HOT PRESSURE IS AT 40 PSI AT 1000RPM. GENERATOR WORKS, STARTER IS STRONG. STEERING IS SOMEWHAT TIGHT AND MAY NEED SOME WORK TO GET IT SMOOTH. AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING THE SMOKE FROM THE OIL PUT INTO THE CYLINDER BECAME MINIMAL BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY GO AWAY. AFTER MORE MYSTERY OIL TREATMENT AND DRIVING THE SMOKING DID NOT STOP. A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE CYLINDER WALLS WITH BORESCOPE SHOWED RUST PITTED CYLINDER WALLS. THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE BORED . OUR CUSTOMER IS NOT INTERESTED IN REPAIRING IT. WE RECENTLY DID A COMPLETE ENGINE OVERHAUL ON ONE IN MUCH WORSE CONDITION FOR $4000. CURRENT"SPORTS CAR MARKET GUIDE" VALUE THIS CAR AT $30K TO $45K. INVESTMENT GRADE B. A RESONABLY SAFE INVESTMENT THAT WILL AT LEAST HOLD IT'S VALUE. THIS A VERY SOLID CAR IN EVERY WAY. IT IS NOT A RESURECTED JUNK BUT A SOLID SURVIVOR. BID WITH CONFIDENCE AND WE WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT A FIRE SALE. RESERVE IS SET AT A VERY GOOD BUY AMOUNT. GOOD LUCK
