SUMMARY
After many years in storage, this Bermuda Hardtop LE has covered less than 10,000 miles and is offered at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The LE was introduced in 1979 to celebrate 50 years of MG production at Abingdon
- Only 1,000 were built - 480 Roadsters in Bronze Metallic and 520 GTs in Pewter Metallic
- They featured chin spoilers and were fitted with Triumph Stag-style alloys
- First registered in March 1981, this Bronze Metallic roadster remains original still sporting its 80s 'deck chair' style cloth seats
- It's accompanied by a matching Bermuda hardtop, now difficult to source and expensive
- Unrestored and showing only 9,700 miles, however, this LE has been stored for many years
- It is complete and runs but is definitely in need of some TLC from its new owner
