Very cool. At previous shop that I worked in, someone brought us a MG completely disassembled, I mean 100% in boxes. We got it together and running in about 1 year. It was a very cool project to be a part of.

It must have taken an incredible effort to turn that mess into a beautiful restored car. I love the wife's pill box hat.

$50 to $70K in USd. But I think the value can only go in ONE direction(Up!).

Wow 10 years but worth it, as it is a beautiful car! I can only imagine all the miles to fetch parts and quite surprised value is only 50-70k range considering the rarity of this car.

I bet most restorations end up taking way longer than the owner "thought it would" going in at the start of the "project".
