I was not going to re-list this GEM of a car, but you folks came so close to the reserve price I figure I try it 1 more time

 

Unlike other MGA, 1600 LHD roadsters listed here we have taken the time to have this car appraised by a certified international auto appraiser. Keeping this in mind you find out what the TRUE value of the car is. Also no one gets burned.  The reserve has been set to well below appraised value.

 

Those who are seriously thinking about owning a classic sports car legend it is best to act now .

 

This fine British Sports Car was fully appraised back in 2007 by Gerry Martel, a stamp holding certified appraiser. To review that appraisal see photo group listed below.

 

 

Ride Characteristics: This little car is exhilarating and fun to drive! Has lots of acceleration and hugs the corners rides smooth, and shifts well. Let it take you back to your teenage years where life was much simpler. This beauty turns lots of heads no matter where you take it. People stop to tell you their stories about similar cars they had, and exclaim over her beauty. People give you the thumbs-up when easing down the road.

We have put only 2,000 miles on this vehicle since we bought it. Has been kept under cover and well maintained.

 

Why are we selling it?  We have too many toys and not enough storage space or time to enjoy them, so some of them have to go.

 

Can provide certified appraisal for this car. Full appraisal done by Gerry Martel, Certified Appraiser, Fitchburg, MA, prior to purchase May, 2007.

 

Exterior: The frame and undercarriage detail are straight and rust free. Body Panels in excellent, original rust free condition. Has been painted once in the original MG Red. All chrome in close to new, original condition. Windshield has no blemishes. Borani wire wheels in great condition. Replacement soft top is leak free, matching tonneau cover and side curtains included.

 

Mechanical: Original four cylinder, 79.5 horsepower engine has been properly maintained and the cylinder heads have hardened valve seats for modern unleaded gas. Cooling system is leak free, all electrics operate. New lifetime stainless steel exhaust system, disk front brakes and drum rears.  Four speed standard transmission smooth throughout all gears. New clutch has been installed. Suspension is solid. Generator has been replaced.

 

Interior: Totally restored, including new tan vinyl bucket seats, door panels and black wool carpet. Seat belts added. Original gauges fully operative. Leather steering wheel in excellent original condition. Heater is operative.

 

Car Covers, Manuals, Tune up kit, extra original parts, all will be included.

 

Paypal Account is required. $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of winning bid. All transportation cost at buyers expense.

 

Happy bidding- This is a fine example of a British Sports Car..   Good Luck

Since the reserve is set to well below appraised value I will no longer be taking offers, Thank You and Good Luck.
