MG TC Race - Road Car
This was John Bussey's incredible race car, bespoke built by historic F1 race car preparer Iain Roonie. The remit was fastes and lightest TC Race Car in the world, it was built from scratch with full photographic history, the new lightweight body tuib was made by Hutsons and skimmed in aluminum. It's suspension unsing special springs and shock absorbewrs, is shod with 15inch x 6 inch 72 spoke wire wheels and was set up by suspension specialist Alan Staniforth. The engine is a dream 1350cc unit engineered by Iain using special pistons, steel crank, aluminium laystall cylinder head and supercharger. This totally tractable engine gives the car incredible engine gives the car incredible power to weight ratio. Full history supporting this fantastic racer (which passed me in my MGA Race Car on the outside at Luffield in the rain!) shows that it cost 107k to build at Naylors by Iain It is currently advertised, not by me, at 48k on a Classic Car site. I as usual, can't get in it! So my price £37,500
MGA Coupe
I wanted an MGA Coupe with a Mazda 5 speed gearbox so I could put a 2 ltr MGB engine in it,( which I have) and use in the winter.
I did diligent searching and found this. Its previous owner, an aircraft engineer, had it for 42 years and fastidiously maintained it during this time, including a nice restoration, and it has a photograph record of this work being done in it's extensive history file.
It's next owner fitted a great looking wire wheel conversion and a 5 speed Mazda box, it also had a MK 6 leather upgrade seats.
I came home from hospital after having a new knee to find it had been delivered, but, horror of horrors, wih my new kneebones making bending impossible, I couldn't get in to the damn thing. ( I was going to say bloody thing bur C & C won't let me)
So now my dream coupe can be yours. It's a fabulous car too, both to see, and drive and I still would like to use it - maybe if I have a leg off....
So take advantage of my diligent search, and become the new, immensely satisfied owner for £23,995 or make me cry with an offer.
