Okay, I went and looked at my friend's Spridgets for
sale last night, and here's a brief write up;
1962 MG Midget- Very complete, body has been stripped
to bare metal (including inside cockpit), has been
reworked, and is very straight. Still needs to be
re-primed & blocked before jamming & painting. All the
seams in the cockpit have been re-welded & caulked
before priming. All cockpit trim is polished.
Slight rear quarter panel rust cut out & new metal
welded in. All body panels are Midget (chrome trim),
and straight. Currently the front fenders are off, &
all the interior is out. Rebuilt 1275 w/1200 miles, new
Pirelli P4s, on stripped & repainted round hole wheels
w/cherry MG hubcaps, rebuilt brakes (drums all around),
new carpet kit, top, valence trim. The transmission is
noisy but all gears work, and he has another trans as
well. He is asking $2200 for this car and all
associated parts, excepting the new trans. I'd scoop
this in a second if I could justify car # 6 ;-)
1960 Bugeye + 1972 Midget parts car - The Bugeye is all
complete & needs a total restoration. The 948 is frozen
solid, the gauges are bashed in, there is slight rust
in the driver's side door pillar but none in the floor
boards. The is the usual rear-end damage, as if someone
dropped a load of bowling balls right around the filler
neck, but is fixable. The bonnet has a good-sized ding
in the chin, and the usual stress cracks at the top of
the wheel arches, but no rust. Also included are two
sets of top bows, two Bugeye gas tanks, and two front
bumpers.
1972 Midget parts car- 93k mile car in good overall
condition. 1275 out of car but runs well, rebuilt and
polished carbs. This has the goodies you might want for
the Bugeye; disc brakes, & 1275, and so my friend wants
to sell them as a unit, and he's asking $1600. In my
opinion, this is an excellent complete restoration
project for the money.
These cars are located in San Jose, Ca. and I can
arrange transport in the greater Bay Area if necessary.
These cars will not be parted out, so please don't ask,
and all financial arrangements are between you and the
seller, excepting that my "commission" is the
differential out of the '72, if that sells ;-). In all
fairness to the people that inquired about the Bugeye,
please reply to me directly (one way or the other) and
I'll let you know where you're at in the hierarchy of
interest.
cheers-
