The MG is structurally sound and passed its last MoT with just an advisory on one brake calliper (both callipers have been replaced). There are a few rust bubbles on the off side front wing and a couple of blisters on the bonnet but otherwise the body work, in my opinion, is fine as is the underside. The MG has been poorly painted and would benefit from a fresh respray. The sills, rear inner wings and doors have been injected with Bilt Hamber dynax-S50 and the underside with Bilt Hamber epoxy-mastic. The interior is in good condition (has patina) with a slight rip on the drivers seat. There is a period radio and electric ariel
Everything works as it should including the overdrive which operates on third and fourth gears. The oil pressure is also fine. The previous owner converted the car to one 12v battery.
Not sure if the head has been modified to run on unleaded but there is an old receipt for cylinder head work.
Some spares also included
