Now that I have finally got the 1974.5 MGB roadster brakes all fixed I have decided it's really not the car for me so I am asking opinions on how to market it. It is mostly a survivor with the original paint (but in poor condition) , a no hit body with minimal rust of a cosmetic type, NOT STRUCTURAL.
The seats, door panels and carpets are good but typical dash pad deterioration from many years in Arizona A serviceable roof and toneau cover (sp?). There is a new exhaust system and new Michelin tires plus a new stereo. Oh, did I forget to mention a working overdrive, too.
What I can't decide is whether to fix the rusty bits or not and if that answer is yes how far should I go as far as the paint situation. Some buyers might like the patina of original paint. Others might prefer new shiny paint. I can paint it for small money as I do it for a hobby and paint 1 or 2 cars a year . But then I run into the choice of a respray of the original ugly tundra (olive drab) verses BRG or some such other color.
Mechanically it is less of a survivor as it has a '75 engine with dual SU hif's and NO cat converter in the system
Help me out here on what YOU think would be the most effective tecnique for selling. Thanks, bob

with Mickey! If you just want to sell the car, price it as it's condition is now. MGs are not cars that you put money into and expect to get it back when sold. JMHO. PJ
