"Nice MG with full history (see description). The car runs perfectly and is ready to drive."

Description

First owner received emissions from the pulp mill during a visit to Skutskärs bruk in 1961, which damaged the paint. He bought original color from BMC and repainted the car himself using his wife’s vacuum cleaner spray accessory from Electrolux. The result was not perfect, but the car has retained that paint since then.

When selling the car, the following items are included: Original intake manifold with air cleaner. New unused Lucas glass reservoir bottle with electric pump. And a used dashboard with instruments and various interior original handles in fine condition.

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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • 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.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
