MG TA, TB, TC, QT for Sale | Steve Baker MGs 1936-1955

I'll start with the news of two new arrivals to the sale page. I've acquired a lovely and very original N-Type with all the bits "they" usually steal present and correct. I've some work to do to get her ship shape but I'd take a lower offer beforehand as the building work contiues without mercy. Here she is flying past at speed, sounding and going very well indeed.

In addition to the N Type I have also been reunited with JYA 771, a car which belongs to a close friend of mine. After nearly 20 years of enjoyment he has reluctantly decided to put her up for sale. You can immediately tell that the car has been well loved and looked after. It is in stunning condition, one of the best TCs around and with an excellent and detailed history file.

It has otherwise been a very busy month, the roof is now on the house and I am about to embark upon the joyous process of applying for planning permition for my new garage. Wait and see on that one. I did manage to escape the chaos and make it to Silverstone MG Live!, albeit only as a spectator. It was good to see some familiar faces and watching the racing made me reconsider the specification of my next car.. the red mist is already descending.

In other news I did finally manage to sort out that manifold for the TA / Q with the crossflow cylinder head and volumex blower. A couple of minor modifications have brought a real boost in power. Notably the manifold was altered so that the air / fuel mixture is introduced more evenly across the cylinders, preventing the first two plugs from fouling up. I have made another modification which is equally crucial - no prizes but full kudos for anyone who spots it (no Peter Burgess, it's not your sticker that I'm referring to.. although no man would be wise to doubt the sticker's "go faster stripe" effect).

Matching numbers car black with red interior. Rebuilt by Ron Gammons himself in 1982, a full "nut and bolt" restoration. The car's history is known to 1978 with a complete MOT history from 1981. Car originally registered 1947 with Derby council. Exhibited at London Classic Motor show in 1995 and Stoneleigh in 2005. Featured in Octagon Bulletin Aug 1993, Classic and Sports car Mar 2005 , La Vie de L’Auto Oct 2009. The car has just had a set of new tyres is currently in the garage being checked over. She will be sold with a years tax and MOT and requires no work whatsoever. More details available upon request.

I was lucky enough to find an MG J2 restoration project. It's becoming increasingly rare to find J2s in this condition and the new owner intends to take full advantage, restoring her to her original swept wing configuration. This car doesn't know how lucky it is!

Another car sold, the new owner is sure to restore her to her former glory. A lovely MG TC on a rare registration "2126 E". She had already been given a lot of love care and attention with many rebuilt items and has now found the person with the drive to get her back on the road.

Now sold, MG TC. A very original, numbers matching TC with the correct shockers, 30 light, foglight, differential, Collingburn interior, custom made hood. 

MG TC project for rebuild. A solid car with poor bodywork, in need of a new tub but with many original items and solid, straight chassis. The car is offered for sale fitted with a running XPJM replacement engine  from a Morris, an MG crested XPAG block is available. Has the original MG gearbox and differential, working original chronometric gauges set on a correct and complete dashboard. The bonnet and bulkhead are strong as is the radiator shell which will come up nicely.  

Now on the cars for sale section, the MG TA/Q which was restored over the winter.

UPDATE: CAR IS NOW SOLD!

For sale; one very usable and very 60s styled MG TC complete with the Quadrophenia horn array and indicator switch conversion. It's a bit rough around the edges, but none-the-less a lovely car with real patina. She runs like a sewing machine.

The car drives well, no clunks from the rear axle, rear brakes are dry. Brakes/cylinders all in good order. Steering is normal T-Type, heavy. Cruises at 3500rpm, oil pressure between 50-60. The engine doesn't smoke but it does leak a bit of oil (all T-types do, conversion kit or otherwise!).

Bodyworks shabby-chic, looks better in the photos. All of the panels are original. Few patches of rust in the hard to see areas. Looks nice though. The interior trim is all vinyl and totally incorrect, along with the weather gear - looks tired but it works. Dashboard is totally correct, but worn. Chromework is old, but looks right - an antique dashboard!

The car has been repaired as and when to keep it on the road. There's a huge pile of paperwork / receipts with the car. I've gone through the car too, should really add a Steve Baker MG receipt..It's just sailed through a fresh MOT and will be my daily runaround until someone decides to take her away!

Contact me with queries. Regards, Steve

I've gone against my religion and bought myself a MMM car, this L1 which has been rebodied and fitted with a K type (KD) engine. I couldn't resist her, it's just a beautiful car with so much potential and goes to show that they can still be found in an unrestored condition. More photographs are available by clicking on the image below.

***SOLD*** Update 23/06: I've now sold the car on to a good friend of mine, she's going to make a lovely project for him and I hope to be able to keep you all up to date with his progress during the restoration. It's a beautiful car but I can't go against the grain, I am and always will be a T-series man!

Finally! A car for you all. She's not much to look at, but comes with a lot of hard to find items and a rare, uncracked MPJG engine. It's an english car with original logbook and chassis. Far too good to break for a Q type replica, it deserves a bit of TLC. Click here for photographs.
