Vehicle Detail

NEW PICTURES ADDED MGA Twin Cam Roadster This right hand drive home market Twin Cam is an older frame off restoration in it's original colors that could use new paint or at least some touch up paint due to some scratches in the right rear fender and a few paint bubbles on the aluminum panels such as lower doors and boot lid. There is zero rust anywhere on the car and these issues are totally paint related and not corrosion related. The car was totally disassembled during the restoration and all panels were painted on the inside with correct color rubberized paint to prevent rust and chips and they remain in excellent condition. The paint is certainly good enough for a driver quality car but I want you to know what I know. The correct red competition interior is excellent both in quality and condition as is the weather gear including the tonneau cover. The original engine and gearbox were overhauled during the restoration and function as they should I drive the car frequently and it runs like a nice twin cam should. The brake system has recently been completely overhauled and reinstalled and works beautifully including the parking brake. The underside is clean and neat with no damage or corrosion. The electrical system has the correct cloth wiring harness I recently replaced the regulator with a new unit and I just had the generator rebuilt everything works nicely. The starter switch was changed from the pull cable set up to a push button set up like a TR3 but it looks original and works perfectly. This is a nice twin cam just a little short of show quality but a dependable driver and that's rare for a twin cam no overheating or funny noises. I have the BMHT certificate for this twin cam detailing its original equipment and colors along with build dates. If you use the buy it now option for this auction I will include professional enclosed shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 at no additional charge.
