What a waste! Looks salvageable.
I hope someone claims it!

All the glass and most of the brightwork. Who will rescue it?

Thanks for posting this Timmy.

Yes Bolney,
I looked at the pics and thought that even if the chassis has rotted away and the car is beyond saving, there must be quite a lot of salvageable stuff on the car. The front screen plus the rear screen glass and its chrome decor are all pretty rare. The door chromework also.

The wings look salvageable too.

So it needs a home.

I need a few off those door trims....
But with the current lockdown that’s not going to happen

Hi OK, Netherlands.
What door trims do you need? I have some chrome parts left over from my Coupe restoration, including the window hoops, some chrome finishers that sit at the bottom of the hoops (where they enter the door cavity). Let me know what you require, and I'll have a rummage in the loft (after Christmas).
Also have two doors that require some minor attention on the bottom edge - bubbling paint, probably caused by porosity in the bottom of the skin.

Amazing....here's my barn find!

Why do they always take the doors off and take them apart!
Anybody got spare parcel shelf sheet metal parts?

Also need the chrome door strips that run along the top of the doors plus the door caps!

See MGAGuru, CP-125 and subsequent items, for details of the parcel shelf, for both 1500 and 1600.

Saw that and contacted the guy who made the bucks and prints. He moved and lost what he had. At least the prints are there to use if I have to go that route1

I was kind of hoping some one had the parts as spares instead of building from scratch.

I will if I have too!

Mr Devine! Are you back from finding the lost Tronald Dump votes?

Hey Nigel,
Just watching Boris negotiate your new trade deals with the USA and the E.U.!

Did anybody rescue the poor Coupe lost in the field in Kent?
