Brief Comments Ready for V8 conversion,A great car for someone lacking the taste and money for something better

Long Comments 1979 MGBGT built RHD. excellent interior, very straight body(small rust spots on top of left hand guard,and one small piece in floor- approx 100mmx20mm)Paint is original horrible 70's colour and in very good condition. This car would rate quite well in a concours "mines bigger than yours" line up.(It's sad when they do that)The original primitive engine and gearbox has been removed and disposed of,Sorry- not coming back(one small victory for mankind) apart from this ,car is complete . Boring Rostyle wheels,rubber average.some V8 parts (not fitted)supplied with car- Bigger Rover brake calipers,stripped down stiff block Rover V8 motor , Rover 5 speed(no bellhousing) need space, car must go. With V8 fitted it would be worth $12000+with its dreadfull underpowered 4cylinder motor it was a $10000+ car If Its not worth $5000, I will be cutting it up and tipping it.-It's a principal thing.I hate this car.($4999 will not buy it) No ,I'm not selling parts. not giving stuff away- try the Smith Family, (I'm a Jones ) I don't know why I bought this woefull cart ' can't have been for performance or styling, Steering designed by Sir Francis Drake,Suspension obviously heavily influenced by Barnes Wallis' bouncing bomb, As sophisticated as a Bikies pub brawl. When first introduced (1960s)The average buyer was a middle age bore that used castrol 10-50 for deodorant,and was of no further use to the opposite sex .(say things like " the electric sprockets on the '72 model were an advance over anything the Latvians ever came up with") STILL OUT THERE!100s of them!This is your chance to preserve yet another sad piece of English motoring history.Over rated, underpowered, dead boring! There really are better cars out there. Get a Nissan, get a Trabant,Get a girlfriend , GET A LIFE! Still interested? Don't take too long thinking about it.Going..going...
