Might be on the market to purchase a restored classic shortly - looking at TVR / Triumph / Sprite / MGB / Midget models and prefer buying 'locally' in Scotland ..

In the world of classic cars some guys get satisfaction from restoring cars then selling them on for their next project , others like me take a pride in maintaining the standard and being the proud current keeper of the car.

Any cars out there nearing restoration completion that might come up for sale shortly ? ( or cars that have been previously restored recently...)

Thanks
Brian

Give David Reid a call (0141 647 0333) at waterside classics/waterside weddings in Rutherglen, he's always got a variety of cars coming and going.

My late father owned a 1979 MG B roadster that we're considering selling - me taking it over is another option. It's been completely reshelled very recently and is absolutely immaculate - however, my dad 'customised' it to his taste, so it has a grey leather non standard interior and non standard alloys from the MGOC (they're too modern for the car imo). It's also a rubber bumper version in inca yellow, neither of which are to everyone's taste. It's got a rebuilt standard engine (his old one was fast road but he died before he got round to putting in the K series he was considering).

Currently down near Kelso - he used to use it as a daily summer driver from home to Dalkeith, so the drivetrain and suspension aren't seized up like some of the dry weekend only cars you see. Let me know if it suits you.

I am up North in Morayshire hence preference to buy locally but will give both Waterside and 20 th century a phone and see what stock they have - and check their websites..

ALFA PINT - sounds like a nice Roadster - thats the type of car that I am looking for - well kept ...I know the colour - its bright !

Its a fair distance to travel - Any pics ?

Probably more the classic M/Taimar series if I am lucky enough to return to TVR ownership
