Location: Texas | 1954 MG needs more work :mad:
Up for sale
1982 collectors series - very mint, has original split cables and COA. Case is in very good condition
1974 1112-4 Ovation Balladeer - never played - new as the day it was made. Beautiful guitar and has a deep mellow sound about 32 years.
1985 collectors series - was told it was mint but it has a few surface cracks on top and a small chip on headstock. Still plays wonderful.
Considering selling my 1981 Adamas II 1681-8 - has made a trip to the mother ship - new frets, fret board was lightly sanded, top was cleaned and electronics checked out - beautiful condition. Not sure if I want to sell this one but it depends on the on going and never ending cost on the MG.
If interested in any of the above - pm me with offers - I believe all of them are on my photo gallery. Help a Classic MG out LOL |

Location: Upper Left USA | My first car was a 1963 Austin Healey Sprite. It wasn't the "Bug-Eye" model but a mass produced MG predecessor with a whopping 948cc four-popper and multiple spare windows and tops.
My first guitar was a 1974 Custom Balladeer 1112-1 similar to yours!
I still have the guitar and it was one of my better choices!
Please email me about the 1112-4! |

Location: NW Washington State | When I was in high school I had a 63 or 64 Sprite, think it was an 1100. Lots of fun- you felt like you were going really fast because it was so small and close to the ground. I found a gutted Bugeye and was going to make one car out of two, but ended up selling both to get an MGA. I wish I had an MGA coupe or a big Austin Healy. Instead I have my wife's Nash Metropolitan- built by Austin.
My cousin rebuilt an MGB from the ground up. It leaked constantly. I remember towing it home after it had puked all of its oil in a parking lot.

Location: Texas | Yep, I get concerned when I drive her and do not see oil spots on the garage floor later - MG's love to mark their territory - much like my dog.
But she is so dang pretty

A chick from Bermuda who sails her own twin-masted schooner and has a discerning palette for fine rums?? . . .
