Vehicle Detail
I'm selling my beloved MG A as the storage company, where I had it stored, completely screwed up and so my MG is now not as nice as it was before I left the US for some years. Anyway, it's still a nice little car but needs some work now to be a beuty again. This is the 1961 MG A 1600 but has a mildly tuned 1800 engine with dual SU carburettors fitted. Then engine was rebuild prior to storing it 10 years ago... but to prevent any damage, I did not try to start it, in case the piston rings are stuck or to not circulate any old fluids through the system. Front brakes have been converted to disks. Has a second watercoller fitted to resist the californian heat. Paint on the pictures looks shinier than it is.... the sun has burned out the shine... well, it was covered when I stored it and was in a nice overall condition... but as mentiend above, the storage company completely screwed up and their insurance policy is a joke... so this is your chance on a real bargain now. Convertible top also got baked by the sun, so needs a new one... interior also needs some work.. seats, instruments and most stuff seems to be fine though. Has aluminium rims fitted that look nice with inflated tires! ;) Not sure if they still hold air to make it easier to pull it up on a trailer!? From what I can see, this will make an easy winter project.... rust is minimal... doors/sills etc look fine. Comes with some additional stuff like a rear mountable luggage rack and whatever I can find. Stick-on sidescreen are also still there. The milage is just a guess as I forgot to look at the speedo. Disclaimer: VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, ASSURANCES OR GUARANTEES. And you bid to buy, not to view. Don't have time for thas. On Sep-26-14 at 12:01:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Comes with softop and frame. Softop needs to be replaced though.On Sep-27-14 at 20:24:43 PDT, seller added the following information: VIN: GHNL86677On Sep-29-14 at 18:19:08 PDT, seller added the following information: As there are ebay users with zero or just one feedback bidding on my car, please contact me asap to avoid having your bid canceled! Don't want to waste my time with fun bids... had that in the past already.On Sep-30-14 at 19:23:32 PDT, seller added the following information: Because of many requests, I've tried to get some pics from under the car and the side. The only bad spot I could find so far was he old original battery holder. But as it got converted to a modern Battery, it is useless anyway. New Battery is located in the trunk. Body seems to line up fine in all areas. Doors look solid, so do the hinges. Car comes with a new clean title in my name... without any back fees that need to be payed! As I have listed the car elsewhere, I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.On Oct-01-14 at 13:12:11 PDT, seller added the following information: Just ordered a new title for the car and payed the outstanding $627. So no back fees for you to pay! But according to the Woman at the DMV, Title may take between 14 to 28 days to arrive. So if you are from the US, I can just send the title to you when it arrives... and if you are a foreigner who needs it for shipping, you will have to wait with that till I have the title at hand.On Oct-01-14 at 22:40:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Two persons were inspecting the car today and both verified my impression, that the car is very solid for its age. So this is not one of the typical rust buckets.
