I'm clearing out the attic and I have a large number of MG spares, mostly Midget/Sprite but some MGB, to sell.

Could anyone please recommend a lively MG owners website so I can find people who actually want this stuff?

Thanks!

Maybe contact the local MGOC groups and see if there's any interest:

The MGCC & MGOC websites are hardly what one would call lively. Their Facebook sites are a better bet, same with Facebook MG parts/sales. Also recommend Car and Classic parts sales...one finds a better sort of buyer/seller there https://www.carandclassic.com/classic_cars.php?cat...

Thanks - good ideas. I don't do Facebook, but I may be able to learn these modern essential skills.

Could you share an overview of the MGB parts you may have? I have a 71 roadster so always curious!

Hi Will - sorry but I cannot remember what B parts I have - I might have some 1.5 SUs or they might be a distant memory.

The plan is to get all of the boxes out in the spring and go through them. But I sold my BGT many many years ago. I used to race Spridgets back in the 90s, so I have boxes of original parts removed, either replaced with 'performance' or removed to save weight/allow easy access etc etc.

Ebay is going to be the best place to shift them. If you just want them to go to a good home rather than make money then just start the auctions low. describe them well and explain they have been in a loft for years etc and they will find a good home.
