! ! ! ! ASK TO SEE THE COMPREHENSIVE WALK ROUND / DRIVE / DEMO VIDEO ! ! ! !
Bought new in November 1958 this beautiful Moggy is still very much in factory standard condition, having just 5 owners from new and the subject of a major restoration in 2008, finished the rarer colour of Sage Green it presents really well and drives lovely, please don’t miss our comprehensive YouTube demonstration video which shows the car in its entirety.
It starts instantly and runs well, drives effortlessly pulling strongly through all the gears, great clutch with no slip or judder, it does not jump out of first gear and it stops in a straight line with no pulling or veering (again please see the video we spend over four minutes touring the underside), handbrake is good, lights wipers, wind down windows, quarter lights, door catches and locks all work as intended. There is no breathing from the oil filer cap and no spitting from the dipstick when running, all in all it drives really well. It has its original traficators and a pair of amber rear indicators snuck under the rear bumper to help with modern driving, these appear to be the only nonstandard fitment on the car and could easily be removed if desired.
Inside is finished in a complimenting green leather interior with grey piping, the carpets are good and the headlining, door cards and rear panels are all presentable, it has twin glove box lids and a working heater fitted, there is a modern 12v socket hidden on the lower dash shelf. Currently showing 58918 miles, we cannot confirm these as correct. The tyres are a matching set all with ample tread and there is a good spare and a selection of tools in the boot.
The car is HPI clear with a current printout, we have the full current logbook, a workshop manual, a few invoices and two itemised invoices amounting to £9000 for a restoration in 2008 and it now oozes that unrepeatable patina of a well done older restoration. It’s MOT exempt and the road tax is free, classic insurance should be a round £100 for most drivers over 25, parts are readily available and there are a multitude of clubs, rallies, regional groups and national for these charming little cars, in the folder is a club booklet from a meeting in 2022 with the car featured on the front cover and listed as an entry inside.
The paintwork is very good, with deep shine and offering a perfect reflection when caught in the sunlight, the odd imperfection will be found on very close inspection, collected during storage not from corrosion or poor finish. Bright work is all good, not new and slightly aged but all perfectly fine.
There are loads of Moggy’s to pick from, you will NOT find another with such a detailed description and in-depth demonstration video, nothing hidden and nothing to hide, any inspection welcomed, its patiently awaiting its new owner to cherish it and enjoy some motoring adventures.
Draw out of your boring ISA, get out the picnic hamper and go and enjoy your hard earned savings, you still have a car to sell if you want to cash in later and you will be making memories instead of a pittance of interest.
