SUMMARY
An early 1500 'A' from long term ownership, mechanically excellent but needing a little TLC.
DESCRIPTION
- Powered by a 1,489cc four-cylinder B-Series offering 72bhp and just shy of 100mph
- Now finished in Signal Red, this example was acquired by our vendor's husband for his 17th Birthday way back in 1974
- In dry storage since the 1990s and brought out for recommissioning at the start of lockdown
- Around £5,500 and many hours were invested by our vendor's husband during that period, mainly on the cars mechanicals which are now in good fettle
- The bodywork, bonnet, panel fit etc. could do with attention and possibly some fresh paint to take it to the next level
- On test, the car started on the button, the gearbox was smooth and generally everything appeared to work as it should
- Seriously pretty and quintessentially British, MG As offer real driving pleasure on the open road and make great entries into local rallies and club events
