Price band for a good solid C/B MGG GT?

[RAS]

For a while I have been toying with the idea of buying a B GT, to run alongside my TVR.

From scanning the adverts I was thinking that I should be able to pick up a tidy rust free example for between £5k to 7k.

Yesterday I viewed / drove my first car, which was for sale at a classic car specialist. The car drove well and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, so I am now hooked on buying one.

I was however very disappointed with the state of the bodywork, rusty sills, (rusty metal flaking away) bubbling paintwork on just about every panel.

So I am begining to question if my 5k -7k is realistic for a good example that is not going to need serious money spent on it to get it up to scratch.

Title should have read MGB, but Microsoft had other ideas.

I've now started looking at private sales, but just wondered what the going rate for a good one should be? According to one of the car mags, £5k to £7k should be tops for a very good to concourse GT.
