[Mg-t] What Is It, worth?

[Matthew French]

The last unrestored car I know of to sell in Australia was in worse condition,
although complete, and it went for $7500 Australian.

Well, I got to take a closer look, some panels
are bent 
but not crushed, everything is rusted in the usual places near the
wheels and 
frame.  No electrics, no interior, dash or steering.  I should say
no 
engine, but there is an old Chevy 235 in-line six with what looks to be a
power-glide transmission attached just laying in there.   All wood 
will need
to be replaced.
 
No ID Plate but from what I have learned it w probably 
and
RMC as the space behind the seats would accommodate only a set of golf 
clubs.
 
Tried to pin him down on what he wanted for it, but all 
I got was stalling,
he seems to think there is some one on the internet that 
will give him a fair
price.
 
Anyone have a suggestion on what you would be expected 
to pay for
something like this?  Obviously, this will take several years 
and many, many
hours to get into road trim.
 
TIA,
Bill

If anyone is looking for Riley parts of that era (RM_
series) I have 
a cellar full! Ric.
