Supplied new by Henlys of High Wycombe, a delightful example, previously sold by ourselves and only available for sale due to grandparent duties!

Most attractive in period Inca yellow with a black hood, the car presents very well especially sat on an impressive set of 15" Minilite style alloy wheels.

The bodywork is in good order having been, we believe, Ziebarted when new and as evidenced by the rustproofing extending to the under bonnet area.

There are a few minor blemishes but overall the car is well above average, suggesting that the very low mileage may be genuine.

There is a fair amount of history too, much of it from ourselves, and includes the original 'Passport to Service'.

Offering outstanding value for money, these later models are very easy to live with and have many safety features not found on the earlier cars.

Available to view in our dry, well lit sales barn, by appointment please.

Bodywork

In very solid condition throughout, we find that cars that have been Ziebart rust proofed tend to fare best especially when garaged regularly as this example appears to have been.

Mechanical

Running and driving well, excellent service history demonstrates diligent maintenance, engine is torquey and flexible, smooth progressive brakes and easy to operate overdrive.

Exterior

A really bright example in way above average condition, the hood is in good condition, the wheels are as new - overall a lovely looking car.

Interior

Fitted with uprated perforated leather aftermarket seats that are firm but supportive, the overall impression is of a very well cared for car. All the gauges work as do all of the electrics.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
