SUMMARY
Smart first-generation MG A from long-term family ownership.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1955, the MG A was powered by a 1,489cc four-cylinder B-Series offering 72bhp
- This smart example is classically presented in Old English White with silver wires and a chrome luggage rack
- It was first UK-registered in 1991, purchased by our vendor's late father in 2007 and has remained in family ownership ever since
- Very recently serviced (February 2024). Engine oil, oil filter, new water pump, engine coolant, carbs stripped and cleaned, tappets adjusted, rebuilt dynamo, ignition set up, wheel bearings adjusted. General check and pre-MOT check. MOT'd and road tested
- The invoice for the above (£736) is in the accompanying history file
- The current indicated mileage is 37,912
- Pretty as a picture and generally very reliable, the MG A makes a superb entry-level British classic and this smart example seems very sensibly guided
