"Relatively complete in our judgment, worth saving to posterity."

Description

The car is sold by an estate, a renovation object with an existing chassis number. The estate has made an application to the National Archives in Härnösand for a search for the chassis number. At least from the number we can deduce that it is a right-hand drive export car with 1500 engine and a cellulose coating in the color Orient Red. The model year is determined by the serial number and, judging by that, it seems to be from 1956. Furthermore, the car has most likely been driven in between Sweden and/or Norrland before it ended up with the current owner.

Curiosities: According to a telephone conversation and completely unverified information, this MGA is said to have once belonged to the lead singer of the progg and children's favorite orchestra Mora Träsk, Leif Walter. If this information could be substantiated, the possibility of finding the car's identity would also be a little easier.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine is not tested so can’t verify if it can roll over.

  • Interior condition:

    The leather chairs are unexpectedly nice and can certainly be renovated really nicely with today's technology and leather lubrication. Otherwise, nothing else in the interior seems to be dismantled or missing.

  • Exterior condition:

    Red old paint in original color, Orient Red; it’s probably also the old cellulose paint. The body panels are a rusty with some more than others. Rear bumpers could not be found among all parts at the time of documentation.

  • General condition:

    A sensible object for renovation and hopefully soon can be found documents and identity. The car has a Swedish MG club's sticker but had no registration number.
