Lot 054: 1959 MG A 1600 TWIN CAM ROADSTER

Finished in red with black leather upholstery, this particular example was first registered by Derbyshire County Council during 1959 (or so its number plate would imply). Believed but not warranted to have covered circa 50,000 miles from new, '684 LNU' reportedly retains an original logbook which shows it was "last on the road 1967". Stated by the vendor to have undergone a "total rebuild since then (approximately two years ago)" during which its major components were treated to the following works: 1589cc engine ("total rebuild"), four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox ("rebuilt"), electrical equipment ("total rewire"), interior trim ("total re-trim"), chassis ("shot blasted, repaired, repainted"), bodywork ("total re-spray"), wheels ("refurbished") and tyres ("renewed"), the MG is consequently said to be "virtually concours". An undeniably rare and desirable motor car, '684 LNU' is offered for sale with "full photographic evidence of rebuild", MOT certificate valid until August 2007 and historic class (free) road tax. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an MOT until September 2007.
