First of all thanks for such a tremendous forum and resource.
I am in the process of evaluating the wisdom of purchasing a used 1971 280 SE coupe 3.5. 62 K miles on it .
It needs a bit of work but this is THE car for me.
It sat for 3 years, and I need to know if it turns over or is there any problem I should look for.
So I have some questions:
1- My local MG mechanic tells me that the engine had a single timing chain and this gave a lot of problems to the engine- to be sure it had been modified to the dual link chain- is this a problem on the 6 cilinder or on the V8 as well?
2- Are there available parts such as rear fender, front grille, weather stripping available and where to get them?
I appreciate any help.
