Lot 07: MG 1100

Sale of Classic and Collectors' Motor Vehicles, BCA (19th February 2007)

The second of Alec Issigonis' advanced front-wheel-drive designs for BMC, code named ADO16, was launched as the Morris 1100 in August 1962.  An Austin variant was offered the following year along with a more sporting, up-market variant in the form of the MG 1100.  This attractive little saloon was equipped to a higher standard than the Austin and Morris variants, and a twin carburettor installation giving 55bhp ensured a lively performance, rendering the car extremely appealing.  The hydrolastic suspension gave a level of comfort rarely found in a car of this size and the MG 1100 was to prove a great success, being available until 1968 when it was superseded by the 1300. Finished in black and of extremely smart appearance, the MG 1100 presented for sale here was first registered in Surrey during 1966. With only 26,815 miles recorded at time of writing, the car has had just one lady owner. Always garaged and regularly maintained, the vehicle has comprehensive history which substantiates the mileageDescribed as being in good order throughout mechanically and bodily, this fastidiously cared for example has documentation which includes the original Passport to Service book, accessory booklets, a number of previous MOT certificates as well as the service history.  The original bill of sale is provided showing the total price to have been £888 17s 4d and a current MOT certificate is also included.
