"The car was fully renovated in the early 2000s, covering both the bodywork and engine, as well as the mechanical components. The current owner drives it frequently and recently took a 160 km trip without any issues. It's a really nice car to drive, it starts immediately, and the engine runs smoothly and sounds great. The gearbox has been recently fully renovated, ensuring it shifts nicely and the overdrive functions perfectly. The brakes are in good condition, and it handles well on the road. There are no issues or remarks, and it is inspection exempt indefinitely."

Description

This car was sold in Sweden, and the current owner purchased it in 2022. They contacted the owner, a well-known MG enthusiast from the Jönköping area, who has extensive knowledge of the car and conducted its renovation. He recently fully renovated the gearbox to address a synchro mesh issue on 3rd gear. Other recent work includes replacing the starter motor and installing a stainless steel exhaust system. The current owner has diligently maintained the car in top running condition, driving it frequently during the summer months. Overall, the car looks wonderful, though it requires some repair to the driver-side rear lower sill due to minor rust, which is a straightforward fix. Additionally, some extra parts, including a cylinder head, are included (see pictures).

    Bodywork is straight and free of damage, with the only rust issue located on the driver-side rear sill (see pictures). The underbody is clean and tidy.
