I bought a 71 B for $2400 that looked good and ran good. Then I had to put
$6000 into it to take care of all the hidden problems: rust, exhaust,
suspension,
gas tank, cracked head, etc. I'm probably the worlds worst used car shopper
(or maybe just the unluckiest). I passed up several restored cars that were in
the $6000 range. Consider any unrestored car as old as an MG to be a
fixer-upper! I'm well on my way to one of those $15K MG's we talked about
in an earlier thread. I figure anybody that has restored an MG ain't gonna
sell it for under $6000, and any unrestored MG needs alot of work.
