British Sports Cars doesn't currently list any for sale, but you might keep an eye on their site. They have new stuff in and out of there all the time...I like to walk by and drool on the windows.

Queenie,
Thanks, I bookmarked them. Pricey! (10K for a 65 MGB?) Prefer non-restored. There is normally 8-10 on ebay, but is slow for the holidays. |

I have a Very RARE 5 bearing 1622 MGA motor sitting in Storage. It ran really strong i pulled it from the rust bucket. I drove it about 25,000 miles and it was fairly fresh when I got it.Steve

Gee... this brings back memories. My first car was an 1960 MGA. Bought it in 1970 for $350 and had to get a loan from the Navy credit union to buy it. I was an E-2 at the time and could barely afford the payments. Unfortunately it only made a couple of trips between Phoenix and San Diego before it blew a rod bearing in Palm Springs and I sold it to a gas station for just enough money for the airfare to Phoenix. It was really fun while I had it!
I think the most memorable feature was the "wind-up" turn signals. You would turn it and it would work like a kitchen timer and flash the blinker until it wound down. I've never seen such a thing on any other car. |

Scottb,
That went for a resonable price! That is about what I am looking for, $5000-$7000 range. Thanks to the other replies. Keep the leads coming. Steve, what do you want for the motor? |
