which seemed pretty reasonable considering the comments I had from
everyone. The car is even in better shape that I thought that it was.
I looked underneath with a flashlight tonight while it was up on the
trailer and there is essentially no rust on anything and the wood floor
are all in great shape - even the battery compartment isn't rusted.
Even the engine was clean and has most of its original paint intact and
the oil is clean. The carb throttle linkage moves freely and the
dashpots have oil in them - I like the brass dashpot plunger caps and
the MG symbol handle on the oil dip stick! The radiator is dry,
hopefully it was drained and didn't leak! The interior is in good
shape, a new carpet set was included and the jack and engine crank are
all there. The bumpers aren't too great, but there was a set of either
NOS or recromed bumpers included with the car. >>

This sounds like a great buy, Kevin. Best of luck with it.
Keep 'em running!
