Good morning all;
The Tompkins kit is gone, the steering wheel is gone, the gas tank ends are
gone, and the horrible speedometer is gone.
I have had a lot of inquiries regarding many of the other parts. If you
inquired and didn't like my price on something, MAKE ME AN OFFER!
I don't really want to go to Ebay with this stuff.
Here are a few more items that have come up:
Two fuel pumps both freshly rebuilt.
4 each .040 over pistons.
2 each instrument panel (the metal part) one re-chromed and one not.
2 each distributors - one with the micrometer.
Beautiful re-chromed gas cap (bare, just the cap).
Pair of chrome fan blades.
One Blower Manual.
5 piece set of the gas tank mounting rubber.
As always I prefer to offer it here first.
Let me briefly explain something about the way I do business. If I have
something for sale and you inquire. I will offer you what I think is a fair
price depending on the items condition and the Moss and Abingdon and
sometimes Ebay prices for the same item. If you feel the price is too high,
then please make me an offer. I promise not to be offended. I try very hard
to be fair and sometimes dealing with friends is a bit difficult. I paid
quite a lot of money for the excess parts that I have currently for sale and
would like to re-coupe some of that money. I don't have to re-coupe it all.
I did not do this to "make money off my friends". OK, you ask, then why did
you do it? Well, many of the parts I bought were nicer than the parts on my
car. My plan was to first improve my car with those parts that I could use,
and sell the parts currently on my car. In addition many of the parts I
found were simply sitting in a garage. I believed that someone could use
them. Some of the items were very rare, like the steering wheel, and it
frankly needed to be one some ones car! It was not right for my car, but I
knew there was a car out there that needed that steering wheel. There was
and indeed he now has it! I know that there are many times in this hobby
that many of us can't spend the money to buy pristine parts. I am therefore
willing to take cash and anything I can either use or sell as partial trade.
Let me know if there is something you can use. I try to keep the emails in
order and I will normally give the first person to respond priority for at
least 24 hours. If you want something and don't respond in a day then you
didn't want it very bad.
On a totally different subject: I have a friend here in Colorado who has a
"basket case" TC for sale. I have not seen this car yet but will very soon.
I understand that the chassis is restored and on the wheels. The engine has
been overhauled and is ready to go in, the transmission is clean and ready
to go back in. There is a new interior kit included and many parts. The car
is at a stage where the body needs to go on the frame for initial fitting of
doors, scuttle, hood, etc. Then the body, which is bare metal, needs to be
prepped and painted. As I said, I have not seen this car yet, but will very
soon. It sounds like a pretty easy and fairly quick project for a
restoration. The sellers asking price is going to be around $18,000. As I
said, this car mainly lacks paint and assembly to be a very nice restored
TC. If you have any interest, or know someone who does then contact me off
list and I will put you in touch with the seller.
All for now.
Have a great day!

Subject: [mg-tabc] TC parts for sale
Hello all;
I recently acquired a pair of inside wheel wells for a TC. These are sheet
metal parts and are brand new reproduction parts. Does anyone need them? If
you could use them please let me know off list and I will figure out a fair
price. The ones on my car are good and will not need to be replaced when I
restore the car.
I have also acquired a number of other parts, for the TC and a few for a TD,
recently.
Here are just a few of the items:
TC - Used? Tompkins kit
TC - Very very nice Home Market Steering Wheel (This is the one that is one
piece and all black)
TC or TD - Spin On Oil Filter Adapter
TC - Gas Tank Ends (in primer)
TC - Pair of Rear Hubs (rusty but will clean up and have good splines)
TC - Right Front Hub (clean and excellent)
TC or TD? - Distributor with Micrometer adjuster
TC or TD? - Tyre pump
TC - Speedometer Original in Excellent Condition showing less than 8,000
miles.
TC - Speedometer in Horrible Condition I don't know if this one could be
used for a core or not.
TC - Tachometer with clock. The clock is not hooked up so it is only correct
twice a day. I am not sure if it works, but it is there. The tach works just
fine, but it registers high when the car is cold. It registers correctly a
few minutes after starting off in the cold weather, but works fine in the
warmer months. (Very strange).
If you have any interest in any of the above items, either call me or email
me off list. I have a lot of other stuff too which I will be listing on Ebay
soon.
