1964 356C LHD coupe - Provisionally Sold

The time has come for a complete change, so due to my epic ongoing house project and desire to try something else, I am selling my lovely 356C. She was imported from California approx 5 years ago by MGA specialist Bob West. I was lucky enough to see the car at the time, and she could be best describ...

Wheels, seats and other mods - suggestions please?

OK, so I've managed to stop myself selling my 356C and getting something else as I regularly do, so its time to start turning the old girl from something a bit girly into something a bit more hardcore! The bodywork is generally good, but will get a repaint and sort out some minor issues when I've co...

I have no vested interest in this car, but I am a good friend of Matt and can vouch for him as a thoroughly decent chap, so if he says its as good as it is.......it is! I have also seen lots of photos of this car over the last couple of years and from what I've seen it looks very honest and genuine....

Er yes! :oops:
I did spend quite a bit of time out in the rain, but when it started to penentrate my coat it was time to open the flask and have a coffee!
The 356 was in the car park.

Yes it was very wet and cold! Although I have to admit that after the first few came past I did go and sit in the warmth of my old mans X5 across the road!! Still brought the 356 up though - because I could and it was literally 2mins from my house! Right thread hi-jack over (apologies!) as for next ...

My new 356C....is finally working right!

New carbs, engine set up correctly, just needs running in now! Thought you all might like to see some proper pics, taken outside so you can see the full glory!
