MG TD TF 1500 - MG YB

I know of a YB that is for sale. It has a little over 20,000 miles on it. Was brought here in the states by a Royal Air force Officer who was here for training, he died in a training accident and the car was purchased by gent in the states who took it home and put it in the family heated warehouse and has been there for quite a few years. Started periodically but only been driven a couple times since. Paint dull but looks like it can be buffed up from the not to clear photo.
Anyone have a ball park figure what their going for + or -? As far as I can see, the car is in pretty nice shape. I think, but not sure, the fella who has it is the second owner. PJ

Hi Paul,

I don't know values in the USA, but here in Holland I guess the car would be worth around EUR 8000,-.
If the interior isn't useable that would detract from the value.
If it really is a 'survivor' and all it needs is some spit & polish then who knows how much more it is worth?

The YB is a delightful car to own and drive.

Can you post the not so clear photo, please?

Willem, here's the best I could do. There are 3 photos. PJ

Doesn't look too bad IMHO.
A beautiful stablemate for your TF.....8^)

WOW! This indeed looks like a survivor.

Please do yourself a huge favor and buy it at any price you can afford. The interior will look as new after a good cleanup and lot's of hide-food.

With new fluids, probably brake cylinders it should be fine? It would be a crime to give it a full restoration.

I'm very, very jealous indeed. Congratulations on this find.

I'll take a wild stab at it. I'm guessing $8-10K USD. It's a funny market though, one day it might be 15 and the next, 6.

If I can swing it, it will not be restored and other than a good cleaning and normal maintenance. This info was given to me by a friend, I haven't personally seen the car but do know it's not on the open market, it's a private within house sale. Later. PJ
