Random question for you lot. I bought an MGB GT a few years ago, intended to do some work on it, it never happened.

It's a 1977 rubber bumper model, however it has an overdrive gearbox (working when yanked off the road) and a full set (four +spare) of Cobra "Superslot" alloys. It was running when bought, but sadly has been standing for three or four years now and the bodywork is pretty much dead (sound chassis though, it's mainly drivers door and sills that have perished). Upshot is I'm looking to sell it on Ebay or suchlike, but I have no idea of what it's worth if anything. I know the overdrive alone sells for a couple of hundred.

Given that it's not a chrome bumper model and the size of the project it would be to restore, anyone have any rough ideas its value as a donor car?

I got a 1970 Viva with rusty front wings, they are a pig to find, so it looks like it'll have to be fibreglass Mad

Yeah I prefer the older motors too.
Used to own 2 classics BMW's including a very tasty M535i but I was sooo paranoid over it I ended up selling it. Sad
