I just picked up a magazine in an antique store called Cars & Parts.
The issue that I bought was for February, 1973. In it were some
interesting items for sale:
MGTC - a fine original example in regular summer use. $2,000
1963 XKE Jaguar Coupe with new tires, brakes, battery and exhaust
system. $1,650
1964 Jaguar E type coupe, air condition, rebuilt engine, body in good
condition. $1,000
MGBGT 1967 Anniversary Special, $2,000
55 MGTF 1500 with spare engine. $1,250
(who would have ever thought to see a MGB being almost twice as
expensive as a TF or an E type)
1935 MG NA four seater sports tourer, excellent mechanical condition.
$2,000
These prices make you wish you could go back in time to pay and bring
the cars up to today.
Which brings us to the point of this e-mail. What stories do the old
guys on the net have about picking up their MGs for a lot less money
than they would pay now?
