My friend out in Utah just called & said he's selling his Daimler....he's redone everything & even done a 5-speed conversion....if anybody's interested, PM me & I'll give you his phone number.
 
Think he's asking $25,000
 
That's a very fair price for a good condition car with mods. One on Ebay last month went for 29+ & it was nothing special. BTW Tony, I thought of your collection when I saw this last month at a show.
1939 MGTB-1250cc; 54HP @ 5,250 RPM; 379 made.

I believe it won peoples choice best in show, but it was an MG club so what do they know. (lol)

I would show a pic but haven't mastered the "how-to" for that yet. I'll try posting one in my pic file in the member's photo section.

Also saw an MGC roadster w/auto last weekend at a show; I think your GT version would be an ideal trip car.

Photo is in, look in Daimler section & my photos. Tried to put a link here but it directed to a blank screen.
 
That's pretty!
 
Pre-WWII, Dale...
 
I don't remember putting a coune berlinette on tony's signature. :wink:
I'll bet with a few of the parts Tony has lying around, he could probably whip up a replica of the 1981 Aston Martin MGB prototype...

Missing a YB Saloon & a '66 Midget.
 
'66 has roll up ewindows, vent windows, a diferent dash, outside door handles & a few other things.....'63 is a MkI, '66 is a MkII
 
I just can't find a MkII that's in decent (no rust) shape nearby...they were a short run so only a few years.
 
Where? eBay? I'd fear rust coming from there....

now obviously it's both your choice and money but is it different enough to be considered a separate model? On what basis do you decide?
 
I've got a MkI, a MkIII, & a 1500 Midget plus my TD which was also a Midget...so, to finish the little car's lineage, I just want a MkII if I find the right one.
 
you are an amazing guy :cheers: you might have the most complete MG collection in private hands when all this is done. Are there other variations that you are after in other models? (like wasn't there a princess badged as an MG that only about 2 were sold in North America?)
