Anglia Car Auctions

This Old English White MGA has been family-owned since 1998. The vendor's sister bought it during that year from a dealer in York. At that time, it needed work and ownership was passed to her father in 2002. He worked on it, with the assistance of a specialist mechanic, for 20 years. The car was driven every week in good weather and also used for local car and country shows. It was kept on a trickle charger when not in use. The MG was registered in February 1960, making it a MkI 1600 version. As an historic vehicle, the MG no longer requires an MoT; its last one expired in August 2018. The odometer shows 99,425 miles. A Sierra five-speed gearbox has been fitted, and the rear brakes have been renewed. We're also told that there's a new cylinder head, unleaded fuel conversion, electronic ignition, electronic distributor and brake servo. The vendor recommends the car be run on Shell V-Power (or equivalent) to combat fuel vaporisation when driven for long periods in hot weather. A rudimentary immobiliser switch is fitted as a anti-theft device. There's a large paperwork folder containing the current V5C plus past ones and a Northern Ireland logbook, and a great many photographs showing work being undertaken over the years. There are a lot of invoices from throughout the 21st century as well as MoT certificates from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017. In addition, there's also a Morris Minor workshop manual - just in case you have one of those as well - as well as a classic car interior restoration guide, MGA Haynes workshop manual, parts catalogues, magazines, MG Owners' Club correspondence and an SU carburettor tuning guide. A quantity of spares come with the car, which can be seen in the last photo of our gallery. They include two doors, chrome items etc.
