Hello to all, I am car poor right now.. I have two MG replicas and my late brother’s original 64 Corvair. Anyway, I need to sell one or even both of the MG replicas.. both are VW based and are tagged, clear titled, drivable, and loads of fun! The green one has a header which makes it sound really like it’s BAAAAAD! The yellow one has regular VW exhaust and just putters along quietly. Both have tan interiors and tops, side curtains, wood trimmed steering wheels, etc. Call 706-402-5007 or 706-637-5007 for more details…$3750 for the green, $4750 for the yellow.. I’m south of Atlanta, Ga. about 45 miles just off I-85. Leave phone # if I’m out of pocket for a call back..thxs
Welcome Blue Horse, sounds like you have an interesting set-up in your mind and would make a super little car w/volvo drivetrain . Do you have a kit yet, or are you looking for one? Most are out of production that I know about but you may be lucky enough to find a kit that was never put together and can start ‘out of the box’ with your build. Be sure to take lots of pictures to share with us and again, welcome aboard. M Watson
Bailey, I replied to your msg..I think..(not very good at the computer just yet).. anyway, if you didn’t get it send me another and we’ll go again. M Watson
Hey Bailey, I have two MGs for sale if you haven’t bought one yet.. I’m south of Atlanta off I-85.. both are runners and have current tags.. one is green and the other is yellow..both have tan interiors. Give me a call 706-637-5007 or 706-402-5007. M Watson
Hey WWA, interesting setup youv’e brought up…I don’t have an answer for you but please keep us posted. Good luck with it. We will look forward to seeing what transpires. M Watson
Hi Jeff, sorry that I can’t be of much help with the gas tank question, but on one of my cars, the tank has a cut down neck and cap and there is lots of room left above it. This tank is mounted longwise fore and aft. On the other car, the tank is crosswise and the fit is tight because the neck was not cut and it touches the side of the car. I plan on taking it out and having the neck cut etc. similar to the other one. My fuse block is mounted under drivers side on one and pax side on the other..go figure…different builders and/or instructions. In any event, keep us all posted..cheers
Hey Wendy, my turn signal lens did the same thing before I got my car..could be wrong plastic or wrong bulb. I wonder if the glass one had any problems or were the originals plastic that were 6 volt or something? Anyway, if you find a source other than Moss, let us all know….happy motoring and cheers
Hey Kitcarguy, welcome to the club…My MIGI emblem is brass or something else than pewter. In any case, I may replace mine with a MG emblem. Don’t know if there is an interest to replicate the FF one or not. Put a pic of your car up also…cheers!!!
Hey Paul, It looks like one of the early original style luggage racks that has a nice cushion on top..Moss still sells these as well as one which is bumper height. While I’m here, I’ll ask you if you know what the original TDs wheel colors were? I asked a while back and got a reply about steering wheels..I’m talking about tire wheels.. were they the same color as the body, standard silver,black or does anyone really know? Thanks you guys..Mike
Hey Paul, I too kept the stock VW tire and my cars handle just fine..I got my latest set from a place near Douglasville..can’t think of the name right now but I’ll get the info for you. Also, the name of my VW man out there who is a mechanic for AirTran Airways as his “full time” job got them for me and worked on my engine, brakes, etc. Anyway, I am about to go to work and when I get back I’ll give ya a call….by the way, I’m thinking of selling one of the cars so if you know of someone local that’s looking for one, give me a shout. I’ll still host a get together here on the ranch if there’s any interest. Mike
I like the slogan, “Yes, it’s a real car” with the picture as well even though I also voted for the Hand Built Classic. Keep up the good work.
Hey Paul, I need to get some things done on mine before I take a long trip but I’ll certainly host a get together down this way at the ranch. Might be a kick off to a small local group…besides, where I live is really easy to find. West Point Lake and Callaway Gardens aren’t very far away either, good day trip destinations…give me a call..MWatson
Hey Paul M..you could also fool me about the web business..I’m not the computer guy either but I type ok..I agree with Paul W…let’s try to get more chatter about what we are doing to our cars..Paul W, is the sunsailor guy from Ga and is his car yellow? Keep up the Q’s and A’s…it helps us all..later MW
Alllllllright!!!!!! finally, some new things to read..Paul W…I see you are doing the research..It helps us all..keep it up! Paul M..thanks for the info, I too enjoy your catalog brain…now for a new question, did the real TDs have a stock color wheel or were they painted to match the body, interior, or some other color? Paul W, I went to the gro store last week and Wendys was hosting a Rod & Custom car show..about 40+ cars there and here I come by in the yellow TDrep and ALL heads turned my way with lots of “thumbs up” from these guys. Soooo,,, on the way out I swung by the drive thru and let everyone get a closer look..felt really good and lots of smiles were all around..I don’t think anyone knew the difference from real and repro..later..MWatson
welcome Paul, I’m between LaGrange and Newnan and have two TDs w/VW engines. Most people can’t tell them from the real MGs but one thing IS for sure…they are REAL fun! Just went to lunch Sunday in the yellow one at Warm Springs..weather was great and you will soon discover that Everone WAVES! MD Watson, Hogansville, Ga
