Any advice, warnings, pricing, ect. before I purchase. Car has been in storage for 22 years, that's about all I know since I have yet to inspect it, but it has been represented to be complete and in good condition except for the differential which needs replacing. Thanks, Tom

Depends on how complete the car is, and how much he can do himself. =)
Guy I did some work for here in Texas a few years ago had a multiple Concourse winning MG P type that he got as a hulk. I think it took him about 7 years, and tracking down 2 parts cars to finish. The "parts cars" looked like they had fed several generations of a family of rust worms for 40+ years.
I believe he had less than $20k in it when he finished. Its now worth several times more than his house. I doubt the guy had an income >$30k a year at the time, has an MGA and had 2 kids at the time.
Havn't seen him in around 10 years, so no idea if he still has the car.

Got your email and responded to it. I really don't know anything about the SA at all, or any pre war cars. Just that due to WW2, the equipment for making the parts hasn't existed for >60 years. Thats why its so important that the car is complete.
The guy with the P type I was talking about started with a complete car and got 2 parts cars for free. The twisted hulks of rust that were the "parts cars" were barely recognizable as ever having been cars though.
