I have found a 1974 MGBGT I am interested in and I was wondering if you could
advise me as to whether it's a fair deal. It's in good mechanical condition
with new paint, carpet, and upholstery. The underbody is rusted, of course,
but still sound, from what I have seen.
I have not yet driven it. It's missing the spare wheel and the tools.
He's asking $2200 for it. It has the original engine with no known rebuild and
-an estimated 125k miles. Is this a fair price assuming it drives well?
- I assume that an engine rebuild is in it's future soon, with that kind of
mileage. How expensive is this to do if I do the work myself...and is it
feasible for someone who has never done it before to rebuild it reliably?
Thanks.
Benjy.
