MG MGA - So what's wrong with this Twin Cam?

I've been watching this since it was first listed and certainly expected someone to have bid on it by now. What am I missing? It certainly seems cheap compared to other TCs I've watched. I'm also rather surprised that I'm the one tostart this thread. Usually done by others.

I wonder how little was paid for this car, if the dealer can ship it to Europe and still make a profit at $21500?

Did that one sell a couple of weeks ago? I was sent a second chance offer to buy it for $2000.00. It was a scam deal for the offer, but the car did have a high bidder and sold. Maybe the high bidder didn't pay? The main problem is its location and the fact it needs alittle work. It does look like a great car!

Location? Well, even if it spposedly came from the States, It could just as easily be shipped back. Still seems cheap for a TC. Wonder if he'll list it again?

All the spelling errors are typically seen as red flags, regardless of if it is a secondary language or not.

I can't say I agree with your sign of a red flag. Grammatical/sentence structure quirks and misuse of words are all too common these days, unfortunately.

I could even pick out a problem in your one sentance post. And this assuming that English is your first language.

What's with tis " ., . " identity, anyway?

"Tis", of course, is Canadian English for the better know English word "this"!

Sure wish there was a spill chucker on the BBS.

The engnes been out, typical, as the timing chain cover should be painted. But the engine number seems to be corrent for the car number. Also the dash appears to be missing the chrome surround for the radio speaker, and the chrome stip across the bottom of the dash. The hydrolic MCs may be gone.
