I am playing piggy in the middle here i don't like this game but here goes.
I got a phone call yesterday from the wife of an old work mate, who retired to the Lincolnshire coast about 15 years ago.
To cut a long story short he died just after Christmas i went to the funeral the son asked if i wanted any of his stuff i knew he had a Bridgeport mill i wanted but he was keeping that he said, i left it that anything they decided to sell let me know.
Now the deceased mans wife mentioned an old MG YB i was surprised to hear he still had this car as he bought it over 20 years ago from a house at bell view Doncaster it was a rolling shell and rough back then.
I just went over to see it this morning on the yam it as not changed any its just a shell and as i said rough, its been nursed inside and covered in 4mm pluss of the thick dust only storage creates.
No price was discussed but they want to sell it, i had a cup off tea a buiscuit kicked a football about with their grandsons and left saying i would ask the question if any one was interested.
So i am asking the question is any body interested in it ?
Note i am not making a bean out of this thing its there its rolling still moved the car is a mess but basically quite sound as no bumpers or bumper brackets as no engine or box a propshaft laid on the floor inside, the pannels are straight but the lower front corner of the rear wings are rough and both running board sections are completly missing, there is no log book or any form of id with the car no plate inside as VNU--5 it was therefore a Notingham car.
The chassis looks solid as a rock and all the tyres are inflated but the tyres themselves are perished to death.
It wont make an original car again without spending silly money so if ever there were a reason to hot rod a car you are looking at it.
The engine bay is long but quite narrow so a six or four rather than a v at a guess would be the best choice of engine perhaps.
I have no actual photos of the car yet but these photos show its colour on the complete car and roughly its condition on the car on the truck.
If interested in it let us know.
NOTE THIS IS NOT THE CAR>
MG YB But very much a project.
Not the car.
MG YB But very much a project.
The above car is i would say similar to the car in question, and the car below is what colour i imagine it was as new.
