After reading the misrepresentations, I would be dubious buying a
rebuilt engine from John/Jim, unless fully documented and
corroborated.

Subject: rebuilt engine for sale in denver 18V (not mine)
> There is a guy in Denver (broomfield) with a rebuilt (18V)
engine for sale. He is not in the paper yet.
>
> He wants to sell his second engine for $500.

> He is also selling a '77 B with overdrive, horrible repaint job,
bondo'ed fenders, and a hole in one rocker behind the front wheel
so water will spray in. Also needs a clutch, he said it just needs
bleeding, but it doesn't pump up, and he doens't know MGs. All
this for $3500.
>
> I tried to buy his hard top, but he wouldn't sell it without the
car. (Dang!)
>
> He bought the car for his teenage grand-daughter, but someone
told him an MG isn't a good car for her. (Someone saved another
MG without even knowing it!)
>
> I went and test drove his '77 before I opted on rebuilding mine.

> If you want the engine/car his number is 303-460-1238 and his
name is John. (or Jim, but I think it is John, just tell him you
got email on it.) He will tell you the car has no rust. (That
isn't true, unless you are looking with rust filtration glasses
like most owners selling cars are. True there are no longer any
holes.)

> I was looking over the engine and found one of the plug wires to
the cap was not connected. I asked him if it missed, he said no.
I put the wire on and told hiom what I had just done, I didn't
call him a lier if he wanted to connect it, I didn't stop him
either...
