Not for the weak. Pics of a Magnette

[vping]

Here is what landed in the driveway today. This one is done and not restorable in my eyes. I jimmied open the trunk and found the spare, jack, tools, some spare parts, some NOS parts and my driveway . In the car was an NOS exhaust. Looks like someone really loved this car at one point.

That is sad. At least it can become an organ donor.

I've never seen one restored, they must be beautiful. What a great dash!! Thanks Vince. Did you get the maps?

Boy, is this ever gonna make a great restoration story!!

Well, there's lots I need...steering wheel & some of that dash stuff.....

Blue on yellow plates = off the road for at least 20 years. And when it was on the road, it was in New York, the salt capital of the world!!!

This car looks like Igor's older brother.

I know a guy who's restoring one of these for his wife. Well, "restomoding". He has a Ford 302 motor ready to go in it.

I did get the maps and I guess I forgot to thank you. Jeani is still planning and these are usefull. Now that I have this Magnette, I want one although this is not restorable.

We had THREE Magnettes at BritFest this weekend...one sort of ratty.

You can see them ~HERE~

I assume you mean the multi-coloured one.

I don't think so....it appeared to be a project that they were just starting and wanted to show "before" views (I'm guessing we'll see it next year, in "after" condition).

Thanks for sharing those pics, looks like a real nice turnout. That P type attended our MGs on the Rocks show last summer and is truly gorgeous; I hope to get to see that K type someday.

Would you by any chance have the contact info for the owner of the TR4 for sale?

ANYTHING is "restorable" if your pockets are deep enough! LoL That rebate check from taxes should about cover it! :laugh:
YEAH RIGHT!

Rebate check is spent on last years bills and I can probably find a rust free Magnette, cheaper than what it will take to rust proof this one. In fact I contacted a guy in California that has one that looks quite original and it was not very expensive.
