Built February 1967 so one of the last early type Mk1 GT’s (no reversing lights, single speed wipers etc). Narrow tunnel 3 syncro gearbox with working o/d. Grampian grey with black leather, red carpets, heater, wires, oil cooler, twin carbs, (Heritage certificate included in large history file, car was delivered to Brittains of Brighton, March 1967).
MoT until July 2013 (no advisories)and taxed until June 2013. Currently showing 128k miles with a new goldseal engine fitted at 116k miles and the gearbox refurbed at 116k miles (receipts). Therefore engine,box,clutch etc have only done about 10000 miles.
An older restoration as it was fully restored in 1990 with new fr/rr wings, sills, new doors, respray, wire wheels, leather seat covers etc etc etc. Has original alloy bonnet & a stainless exhaust fitted.
Very presentable condition - its gets lots of looks on my journey to work and keeps up with modern traffic fine - coolant temp and oil pressures perfect. Good paintwork but has some parking dints and scratches and some cosmetic rust blebs.
Recent new parts:
New twin carbs and dual oil pressure/water temp gauge fitted in 2010. New parts fitted in 2012 – tyres x4(£180), wires refurbed, radiator(£110), rad cap, coolant hoses(£20), fuse box, converted to 12V neg earth, new ¾” fr ARB and droplinks (£60), track rods ends (£8), steering rack gaiters(£8), regreased wiper rack, clutch slave cylinder & flexi hose(£20), new 15” Motorlita wood wheel (£130), new front springs (£25) , new sidelight unit (£10), one new sealed beam headlamp, new waterpump/thermostat & housing (£30), fan belt, heater tap (£12), HT leads (£12).
Just fitted front and rear Gaz damper conversion (£300) and new brake calipers, discs, pads, hoses, dust shields (@£250 worth of kit). The MG is used regularly and very reliable, doing on average 50-75 miles per week, it keeps very good temperature and healthy oil pressure (65psi cold start, 50psi hot idle, cruising at 60psi).
Exide 12V single battery with battery cutoff switch means its a superb starter. Garaged and used mostly on dry days. Will come with some spares.
Only selling to buy a classic with a bigger backseat to fit 2 toddlers . As with any classic car purchase, viewing is recommended. Thanks for looking.
