Whoops, it's actually a rollbar, not roll cage....sorry. Someone pointed out
that there were two more negatives in the first paragraph of my original
message, so maybe $4K is not such a great deal. Also, seller doesn't have too
many records to show.
Next question is, can any one recommend an LBC mechanic in the sf bay area,
north bay (near oakland/berkeley/vallejo...)
thanks,
Justin
I recently checked out a 1970 MGB. It seems to be in decent shape, but
not restored. It has been painted (red-burgundy), but not extremely
well. Original color was some kind of orange. Asking price is $4000.
It ran strong (definitely faster than my previous '79 B. It has a
rollcage. Seats are orignal, torn, and covered. Dash is not cracked.
Shifts easily, clutch is smooth. A couple of rust dots on bumper (few) and
some bubbling paint on lower side, near bottom in front of rear wheel.
Doesn't seem like much corrion at all, but I don't have much experience
with what it takes to fix.
The only negatives that I came away with:
1. the seller doesn't seem keen on taking it for long trips, or as a
daily driver. My '79 was a daily driver for 3 years, and though I don't
plan to use this as a daily driver, I'd like to know why doesn't trust
it.
2. needs new top and/or tonneau
3. there is a slow battery drain (it has 2 6v) and dies after not being
run for about 2 weeks.
4. no clue on mileage
How does this sound to y'all? Anything I should look out for or ask?
Thanks for your help.
