[Nobbc] Help with Ron's car, please?

[Greg Tatarian]

Hello Friends,

Candy, Ron's widow, is now ready to let Ron's car go, but needs a little 
help. The first thing, is getting it running, which Candy thinks may 
just be that it needs a new battery. I've suggested to Candy that the 
car be converted from two 6 volt batteries to one 12 volt battery, if it 
hasn't already, but it's been quite awhile since I worked on an MGA or 
MGB. Can anyone tell me and Candy which 12 volt batteries are available 
that will fit one of the 6 volt battery compartments, and provide some 
sources?

Also, a few members had previously offered to help get the car running 
and perhaps cleaned up for sale. I can help with that, but am traveling 
this week and part of next, then visiting my parents the second week of 
October, so my time is limited. Also, it would be best if one of us who 
is familiar with MGAs and is mechanically adept were to volunteer, in 
case it needs tuning, but any help would be appreciated, I am sure.

Candy wants to make the car available first to any NOBBC member that may 
be interested, but hasn't zeroed in on a price yet. I've been reviewing 
sales of MGAs in similar condition on eBay and elsewhere, but again, the 
car needs to be cleaned and assessed to come up with a fair value.

If you are willing and able to help, please respond to Candy directly 
at: mizsarah1948 at sonic.net  and copy me so I can stay in the loop.

Thanks very much,

Greg Tatarian
