1960 [FSK 842] MG A 1600 Roadster (Mk1), in Red, Tax Exempt, MOT Expired July 2018, 37,009 miles, 2 keys. The following information has been presented to us by H&H Auctions who previously sold the car in 2004 to its current registered keeper. This MGA was originally built at the MG works at Abingdon in 1960, for export to "rust free California". After its return to the UK, it was stripped down to the chassis in 1991. During this refurbishment, this classic British sports car was converted from left to right hand drive, the open body work was repainted, the interior trimmed in leather plus the carpets, tonneau cover and hood fabric all renewed. The original 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine was subsequently rebuilt in 2000, the 4-speed manual gearbox was rebuilt in 2003 and then covered only 1,500 miles until sold by H&H Auctions in 2004. In 2004, when sold by H&H the condition of the chassis and body panels were said to be "very good with both paint work, in 'Chariot Red' and black and red trim reportedly also very good". The vehicle is now being offered at auction following the death of the registered keeper, on behalf of his Estate.
