I watch ebay alot and it sure seems to me that prices are starting to fall. I collect mostly MGA's and the prices are still not in my price range but when I look at completed sales, where you find the real price, they are coming down. I gues that is our economy at work. I did manage to find another MGA on a web site from the Cleveland area and I went and got the car. It is one of these taken appart and too much rot and never touch again cars. It looks like the car has never ben taken apart and the spedo says only 33,000 miles. You never know. The engine on the other hand also was taken appart and left to sit with the head off and there is a lot of rust in the cylinders.

Good luck with your "new" car. Is that #14?

That makes 17 that I think I can make cars out of. I also have three parts cars , one early MGB parts car and one TD. I took the engine appart from the new one and sent the block out to be checked and machine work that needs to be done. I had to use a twelve pound sledge to get the pistons out of the block. I gues thats what happens when you let a car set for 15 years with the head off. Crank looks ok, so if the block nd head are ok I am going to rebuild the engine.
