Re: Car for sale on Ebay

Hi George,

I am glad the car has gone to a good home and will get brought back to life. I have a TA so can't help with patterns but I am sure some of the TF owners will chip in.

Cheers
Jeremy

Re: Car for sale on Ebay

Jeremy,

Many thanks, I hope to have it back on the road by spring so replacement weather protection is going to be needed and my appilcation for membership has been sent off and I await a reply. Could you let me know where to get service spares for these cars, air filters, points etc?

Regards

George

Re: Car for sale on Ebay

Spares wil depend upon what the engine came out of. MG spares are all over the place. Rimmer Bross, Moss Europe etc. Marina spares are probably a little harder to come by, but I know of Mevspares.

Re: Car for sale on Ebay

As P Jones says MGB bits are easy, I use MGB Hive and Brown and Gammons but Moss Europe and others are out there - you take your pick etc.

If I recall the advert details for your car correctly it is MGB based so I am sure bits will be easy.

If you need more substantial spares engines/gearboxes etc then you can put a wanted on the club web site or join the face book page (link on the home page of the club web site) and post on there.

Getting hood sorted is a definite must with the weather like this - although fingers crossed we get some dry days in 2016!

Cheers
Jeremy

Re: Car for sale on Ebay

Many thanks, as you say the car is based on an 1968 MGB GT so mechanical and service items are not a problem however I do need to find a hood, or a pattern for a hood or at the very least someone who has made one in the past - any ideas? Regards George

Re: Car for sale on Ebay

It must be possible to take a pattern from another car.

There is a chap on the facebook group who is looking for a similar pattern but for the Marina based car.

It is different from my TA so I can't help, there must be someone out there who can?

cheers
Jeremy
