Having been subject to a major body off restoration in 2003/4, photographic records available, the car remains in delightful condition throughout with good shut lines and panel fit. It is unusual to find an original UK market car in such fine condition and retaining its disc wheels.

Bodywork

Restoring any MGA to a standard that results in good panel fit is a challenge on any model, more so on a Coupe where the door aperture is very difficult to get right. This car has clearly been given a great deal of attention in this regard as the doors close nicely and all of the panels line up very well.

The paintwork is bright, even and glossy and the overall appearance is stunning.

Mechanical

Having had almost every component renewed or reconditioned during the restoration and with few miles since, the car drives wonderfully well with a nice quiet engine, smooth clutch and gearbox.

Exterior

All brightwork is in excellent condition and all original fittings are in place, everything works correctly. The car looks most attractive and is unusually still on disc wheels.

Interior

In excellent condition throughout with a lovely patina, the seats are comfortable and the dashboard is delightful with a full display of instruments.

 

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.
