MG Midget and Sprite General - Brave person wanted.

Is this a bridge too far, or does anyone think it is do-able
eBay item number 280521356270. Mk 2s are getting very shard to come by.

Price is a little high at the moment. Unless that steering wheel is in really good shape.
Parts only is what I'd say.
At least there are still some good MK2's over here - that one is rubbish.

Makes this one look like gold!

Are the snakes, rats and spiders extra cost, Or do they come with the car

I have to ask... Why?, theres nothing that even resembles use-able parts on these 2 cars.

Perhaps I should consider selling my 14 year old worn out underware, skid marks no additional cost, its just incrediable that someone would even consider posting these 2 cars to sell, they might as well ask $10,000 just to finish off the effect of how stupid these morons are.

Prop, what are you saying? Did you look closely at the one in Washington? A great start for a engine swap project. Already converted to RWA and with what appear to be a set of Western Turbine wheels like yours to boot. All that for only $250, the wheels alone are worth nearly that. That's supposedly a pretty solid car with only surface rust which would blast off with some soda in short order.

MK2 Midget with RWA - just crying out for a Bugeye front end IMHO!!

Nick. Are you the "Brave Person Wanted" then?
Given a money no object situation, I'd love to take something like that on, just for the hell of it and it would really be just for the hell of it, you'd never get your money back. I've seen worse things than that come back to life, but I'm not in a money no object situation.
Post the pics Nick, when you get them.

Rick. That one you refer to has been removed for some reason.

Slightly moving away from the thread........ if anyone requires an original mk 2 sprite steering wheel in good condition please contact me.

On a related note how rare is the mk2 sprite?
