This ad has been in the San Diego MG Club newsletter for at least six months
now:
FOR SALE: '71 MGB, good condition, new seats and dash; has been garaged for
the last four years and only driven twice for smog check. Batteries are
dead now and I can't show that it runs but can demonstrate food compression.
[ed note: I assume he means "good" compression, but you never know, it may
be in use as a trash compactor. If this were a typo, you wouldn't think
that it would have been left for months and months.] $1,600 BYOB (battery)
or $1,800 if you want it running. Dave Rose (619) 484-1689.
I haven't seen the car and don't intend to. I also don't know the owner.
This is all I know. I have no idea why this car hasn't sold unless the
owner has only advertised it in the Club newsletter; Club members are a
notorious bunch of cheapskates. There are people in the Club that no one
will deal with because they can't stand the snivelling. Part of the
reason I get such good deals (or in Britspeak, "good nick") on cars and
parts is that I don't quibble about prices or complain about what I got
later. Let that be a lesson to you. ;-)
I haven't announced cars for sale before because I didn't realize that MG's
were so expensive and in such bad shape elsewhere. These announcements
will sporadically appear as I find time to do all this typing. OR, you can
get the ads as they come out by joining the San Diego MG Club (then you too
can be a snivelling cheapskate) by sending $35 (renewals are $20 per year)
with the usual info to:
The San Diego MG Club
P.O. Box 710111
San Diego, CA 92171-0111
Why didn't I think of this sooner?
