My brother is handling the affairs of a guy that is being moved out of his house in Wayzata by the sheriff. He had kind of gone off the deep end a few years ago after business issues and a divorce. Anyway there is a 51 MG siting in my brothers shed. Hasn't been driven or licenced since 1968. Think he bought in Wayzata new. Looks like body is good with no rust. But would need to be completely striped and painted. Head was removed a couple of years ago and hasn't run since. Everything is all there.

The car is at the farm between Buffalo and Waverly. Think he is looking at $7000. We broke one of the mirows moving it; but otherwise its all there. Kind of a raty steering wheel, looks like the wood is spiting off. Bumpers would need to be rechrome.

Best thing to do is get one of the guys from the MG Club to look it over. I only know 1 guy that I have not seen in about 20 years.
