Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
Hi John,

I met you when you looked at my Midget at a roving tech session at the 1999 MG Heartland in St. Joseph, MO. Could you either give me pricing advice on an MGC, or if you get this type of question too much, maybe refer me to a site that might have some information.

I'm interested in an MGC that I haven't looked at yet other than from a distance, but would like to get some guidelines before I go. He says it:

hasn't run in three years,
