Uplift of 15% in six weeks. 170826 More Clearly the car has been tidied up by the trader now selling the MGBGTV8 on eBay but the offer of a restoration project without the respray saying "now only requiring a paintwork to finish" does seem strange. If they have the contacts with the trade, why not get the respray done and offer the car as a more attractive car at a higher price? As with many cars with signs of a lengthy layup a very thorough inspection of the car is essential, not least to check the condition of the inside of the cills and other hollow sections which are know to be areas where serious corrosion can develop and in some cases require replacement to maintain structural integrity. There are signs that during the lengthy restoration by the former owner that some panels have been replaced and he may have included a history file with his sale of the car which could provide evidence of the purchase of replacement panels.
