[ROVERNET - UK] Classic car prices

[Glen Wilson]

Jim,

I hope to stumble upon a nice "MG" (VP) Princess as exported to the 
States. Some of the other UK variants are interesting, but I don't want 
a RHD car for the States. A couple of Landcrabs have surfaced lately, 
and one of those would be great fun. Enjoy yours!

I have a strong preference for the 4-door ADO16, and the 2-door estates- something about the America body doesn't appeal to me as much as the others.  I like somewhat odd cars - just bought a  one-little-old-lady  owner automatic Landcrab from Regina SK - will collect it from Montreal in Sept. when I go to Stowe for the British Invasion.  I'm vending there, but won't have a car. Does anyone need any P6 bits?  I have a lovely & I believe complete black vinyl Series I interior (front seats are only the covered pads - no frames), as well as some sills, Rostyle/Magnum/whatever wheels that I will not be using (I've got wires to put on!), other miscellaneous Series I stuff (the car that donated the panels & doors to my 71 TC was a S1).  I was not going to bring P6 stuff, as we mostly do Mini parts, but maybe I should toss some of that stuff in . . . . .
