67 MGB Roadster, 69 Triumph Spitfire and 76 Triumph Motorcycles For Sale
|
|
This is a 1967 MGB. New Moss Motors rockers and floors were started a number of years ago but not finished ($900 worth of
parts with receipts). The car ran when I parked it about 13 years ago, and it has been sitting in the garage ever since (
a squirt of oil in the plug holes from time to time). This is one of the more desirable years for MG, because it is the latest
model year right before emission controls. It has a 1971 high compression engine in it that was rebuilt before I got the car,
and there is no mileage on it since that time.It has twin SU carberators, and a four speed trans. Aluminum hood, no damage
to any panels, new windshield not yet installed, new top not yet installed. I would like to see around $1500 for this 1967
MGB.

Below is a 1969 Triumph Spitfire. Home made rockers and floors were brazed and welded in maybe 16 years ago,
and it has been sitting in the garage since. The car is basically complete, but there are numerous small dents and things
to fix. There is no windshield, and the car is disassembled and sitting on the frame. The engine had "something wrong" with
it when I bought the car about twenty years ago, but I was told that the transmission was good. I have a factory steel hard
top with good glass but no headliner that fits the car. I think I am going to hold onto my 77 MG for a while so the Spitfire
is for sale for about $700 without the hard top or $1000 with it.
The car below is a 1977 MGB and it is not for sale at the moment because I want somthing to putz around in next summer.
I think I may sell the 67 MG and 69 Spitfire instead. This car was gone over pretty well in 2004 when I replaced the inner
and outer rockers and any other metal that needed it, and a reasonable paint job was added. The car looks and runs well, but
it really should be driven more regularly. I have been working away from home this last year, so it has been sitting in the
garagea lot. It appears that my road work is slowing down, so maybe I can drive it more. The car has antique auto plates on,
so it is not required to have regular inspections, but it is inspected regularly all parts are up to safety standards for
the year modle. The engine is tight and doesn't burn any oil, all systems but the clock work, and wheels and other safety
systems are in good working order. The car runs well, and was recently tuned, but I have put very few miles on since then.
This is the car that I drive around when I feel like a bit of British Motoring. There is nothing quite like the real british
sports car experience.

Triumph 750 Motorcycle
A 1976 Triumph Bonneville Motorcycle. Ran when I parked it 15 years ago. Might have a charging problem, and the calipers are
frozen up. Otherwise it looks good, and the bike is in good condition. It wouldn't take much to get it on the road. Engine
and transmission are good, and I checked out the engine top end last year. The 750 Triumph is for sale as is for $2,500.

I am also working on a 1972 Triumph Bonneville that I drive when I hit the road on a bike. The 72 Triumph is not for
sale, but it needs to be included in the British stuff. The motorcycle still has some things left that I need to do, but hopefully
it will be on the road shortly.
This is a 1972 Honda 360 road and trail bike. I just checked the engine, and it turns in gear. The transmission goes
into the gears smoothly. The tires and windshield are shot, but the seat and most other stuff seems to be OK. The kick
start peddle is broken off but I believe the electric starter works. It would take some work to get the whole bike up to speed,
but the engine may only require you to clean up the carberetors and the bike is complete and as it was parked about 25
years ago. You would have to use the electric starter since the kick starter shaft on this one is broken off. Give me
a call or email if you need more information on this bike. An offer around $350 would work.
