>>SOL friends,
>>
>>Sorry to cross-post, but I am not a member of the MGs list and am not quite
>>sure about the cross-over membership. 
>>
>>I have been using my GT as a foul-weather alternative to my Healey. It's
>>sorta beat up (a semi-decent 30-foot car), but isn't as horrible as some and
>>runs pretty nicely. However, it really needs to go to a sympathetic home, and
>>I've got my hands more than full with the 3000.
>>
>>1971 MGB-GT
>>--Originally (and currently) red. CA dealer sticker under the hood.
>>--Original sills w/ seams, (quite) small bubbling in doglegs. 
>>  Spare wheel-well has been patched with 'glass at some point.
>>  The floors are solid.
>>--Lots of dings. Looks like it sat in a garage for years with various 
>>  rakes, wheelbarrows, etc. colliding with it. Worst is a dent recd. 
>>  while shopping last year; someone in a pickup backed into the 
>>  aluminum bonnet, denting the bonnet, grille surround, and 
>>  destroying the overrider on the passenger side.
>>--Engine runs well, but needs a tune-up or distributor rebuild, 
>>  as there seems to be no advance from the distributor. Uses little
>>  oil. Doesn't leak oil. Tranny (non-OD) works very well. The 
>>  exhaust leaks somewhere in its run. Weber DGV carb.
>>--Car rides fine, and even has decent shocks and great newish rubber
>>  on Rostyle wheels. That said, there's some random clunking from 
>>  the front. Brakes had some work done before I bought it, of an
>>  undocumented nature, though a peek shows new flex hoses and pads.
>>--Interior is well worn but largely original, except a (working) am/fm
>>  cassette, with speakers just behind the doors. Dash cracked per usual.
>>--I have replaced the alternator, the heater control valve, the oil,
>>  and one of the two batteries (my shop only had one in stock!).
>>--Tabs just expired, though I think odd-year cars don't have to be 
>>  smog tested in WA this year. Clear title.
>>--I have driven it about 5000 puttering miles in a year and a half. 
>>  Odometer reads 57,000 or so, which I assume means 157,000.
>>
>>I'd like $1500, or part I'll trade up to Jaguar or interesting British 
>>sedan in decent nick. Drop me a line for more details. I'm in Kirkland, WA,
>>USA, near Seattle.
