hello to all... My name is Ryan, and I am from Ventura California.
i joined this forum for my father Ron who was an avid British car collector in his prime.
his collection included a 1970 morgan plus 8, a 1953 XK120, 65 e type, a 69 mgb gt mk ii, a couple morris minors, healey 3000 MKii BJ7, and a few bikes like 47 Indian chief, a few 60's BMWs, and triumph T100 tiger. i believe a couple of his cars were at concourse. needless to say, he had a lot of cool cars growing up.

He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 5 years ago and although he is still with us, he doesn't drive anymore and also can't really remember what he has.

I have been given the daunting task for my family to start organizing and clearing out a rather large garage full of parts. my dad is of very little help in cataloging what wasn't already labeled. my hope is to ask questions as to what certain parts may be to, that way they may be sold to people who had his same passion in rebuilding old classics.
if I am on the wrong type of forum, my apologies, but this seemed to be a logical starting point.
thanks to all who can help out.
R
 
welcome and sorry to hear of your father's Alzheimers - we are happy to help
 
Welcome to BCF. Very sorry to hear of your father's health issues and hope folks here can be of assistance as you sort through the task of sorting out all of his classics and parts.
 
You are in the right place, since this Forum has sub-forums which cover a wide variety of British makes.

Once you start going through the assorted parts, post photos here in order for folks to help you identify them. If we can figure out from the photo's which cars they belong to, we will be able to guide you on where to list each item for sale. By the sounds of your dad's wide variety of cars, it sounds like you will have multiple platforms in which to advertise the items, which will allow you to focus in on your specific target audiences..
 
Welcome! Sorry to hear about your Dad,but eh has some cool stuff.
You might try contact local British car clubs about this.Hopefully someone
will come & help you out.
 
well for starters, he has several sets of wheels that i think are for a Morgan, but wanted to know if they go to other makes as well.
most of them are 15'' and 72 spoke.
