Lot 04: MG 1100

Vintage, Classic & Collectors's Motor Vehicles, BCA (27th November 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rarely found in a car of this size and the MG 1100 was to prove a great success, being available until 1968 when it was superseded by the 1300.�Finished in black and of extremely smart appearance, the MG 1100 presented for sale here was first registered in Surrey during 1966.� With only 27,250 miles recorded at time of writing, the car remained the property of its original lady owner until last year.� Always garaged and regularly maintained, it has comprehensive history which substantiates the mileage.�Described as being in extremely 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 valid until 28th March 2008 is also included.� It is offered for sale, with reluctance, by its second owner, only due to the recent purchase of a 1938 MG SA Saloon.
