"A renovation project that doesn't have any major rust issues and is straight and clean in the body. Appears to be completely intact."

Description

The car has had few owners who used it until 1987 when it was taken off the road with the ambition to renovate it. It was stored in a barn and remained there until last spring when the current owner purchased it. However, he realizes that he won't have enough time to fix it up, so he is now selling it. It is a 1600 model, but due to its year of manufacture, it is registered as a 1500.

Facts about the model

The MGA was the first MG in the sports car series that did not have external fenders but rather a pontoon-like body. MG has primarily manufactured affordable and simple sports cars for the people, although there are exceptions. The engine in the MGA is a so-called BMC-B engine, which was also found in some other BMC models. The first model that came in 1955 had a 1500 cc engine with around 70 horsepower.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.

  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
