1979 MG MGB - small engine fire

1979 MG MGB Description

My friend inherited this from the original owner - her Mom. They enjoyed this British sports car until it had a small engine fire last fall. The 3 pics are before the fire. The one picture shows the damage to the top of the hood. British Motors in Merrifield VA has repainted the hood now, at some $1400. They have a very good rep and did a very nice hood repaint.

The engine does not run now obviously. Much of the soft parts were damaged. The engine bay pics are after fire. My goal is have the car brought here, replace just what is absolutely needed to get it running to prove the engine.

**This sale now is for the car as it came out of British Motors – not running.**

I think there are MG folks out there who have most of the parts needed to get this girl back on the road at a low cost.

Once I do get it running, the value will go up.

If **you** want to arrange shipping, I will gladly work with you. No hurry - I can store for a while.

The last 6 pics show the vin and nice fresh paint on the hood, top and bottom

There is a removable hardtop, black with round side holes, in very good condition.
