It is a non-running project car and from what I can tell, the value of a restored or running MG 1100 is not very high (compared to a MGB for example). So I am looking for guidance or opinions from those of you familiar with or own one or more. Are there any issues with parts availability for some items? Are there items I should look at on this car that should be a reason not to buy the car? As with other project cars, I would have to replace rubber, tires, upholstery, and probably do an engine overhaul in the process so I am just seeing if it is worth the effort, not knowing that much about the 1100s. The car currently is overpriced but the owner is getting desperate, having tried to sell it for the past year and thus I may now be interested if price and conditions are right. Or maybe not.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">David Councill<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">1964 MGB<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">1967 MGBGT<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">1972 MGB<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br><br><u></u><u></u></span></p><pre>______________________________<wbr>_________________<u></u><u></u></pre><pre><u></u> <u></u></pre><pre><a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><u></u><u></u></pre><pre>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.<wbr>html</a><u></u><u></u></pre><pre>Suggested annual donation $12.75<u></u><u></u></pre><pre>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><u></u><u></u></pre><pre>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><u></u><u></u></pre><pre>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/stargazer1@cox.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/<wbr>options/mgs/stargazer1@cox.net</a><u></u><u></u></pre></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div id="m_7727411245670706977DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br> <table style="border-top:1px solid #d3d4de">
