Saw this on the side of the road in Centerville, Louisiana, about 10 miles from my home. The couple (she) saw it advertised in New Hampshire, drove up and towed it home. Apparently saw another on the way down in a Quick Quarter and bought it too. Now they want to sell the white one. Claim 30+K original miles, one owner. Seems quite nice. Floorboards clean, new top, started up easily. That's all I know. What's it worth? I can put you in touch with them.

Nice people.

Formerly a USAF officer's car. Appears very well kept.

Bill -

A friend will be in the market in the very near future, but may be ready, if he sees this! Let me know a price and I'll shoot it to him. (Time for a road trip, anyway - I'm out of boudin!)

Appears to have O/D as well...looks identical to my '78.

(They need to learn how to stow the hood properly to avoid damage, though!)

Looks very nice...I love white for MGB's. Whoever buys that will be getting a very nice car.

A little more on the car. Photos hide flaws. The engine bay needs work, cleanup and repaint. I could find no rust, but look beyond the rockers, seams and floorboards. Trunk looks like it was bent, probably from torquing down when open, should be easily fixed. Interior was presentable. Looks like a respray, but very well done. I dunno. I have no interest in the car whatsoever. If anyone wants to take a ride, call George Fuhrer at 337-836-9903. He wants to make a profit but I think it will come down.

Nuff said.
