Highlights 

• Motorsport inspired with Sebring styling 
• Exceptionally well maintained and restored 
• One of the most comprehensive collections of paperwork we have ever seen for such a car 
• Some engine and drivetrain modifications to backup the sporty appearance 
• Current owner of 9 years covering under 1500 miles in that time 

The Appeal 

The History and Paperwork 

• Unbelievable amount of paperwork, pamphlets, tax discs, receipts and test certificates dating back to new 
• Original Leyland cars passport to service full of stamps and including the original purchasers address 
• Original MG options extras brochure complete with dealer stamp 
• Photographic documentation of the restoration in the 90’s 
• 24 historic tax discs 
• Typed out description of all modifications and maintenance done at the previous restoration with great knowledge and care 
• Photographic documentation of the restoration carried out around a decade ago when multiple new parts were fitted 
• Previous concourse event competitor 

The Interior 

• Standard looking interior with nicely re-trimmed seats and furnishings 
• Well suited leather sports steering wheel with MG horn pusher and aluminium spokes 
• Radio has been replaced with a switch panel for ancillaries such as the electronic fan override 
• Crystal clear dials all round with everything, even the quartz clock in working order 
• All the switchgear in nice nick with light patina and signs of use but no damage or excessive wearing 
• Little wear due to the lack of use over the vendors 9 year ownership on the new furnishings 
• Exceptionally clean throughout including the spare wheel well, carpets and headlining 
• Some nicely retained features include the centre console map light, gear knob and dials, all having usual patina but all fitting in well 

The Exterior 

• Leyland white finished to an exquisite standard with a glorious shine 
• Mini-lite wheelset anthracite grey are a compliment to it’s motorsport look 
• Stainless exhaust too is a nod towards the motorsport appeal with a slight downturn tip and bigger than usual bore yet subdued in sound 
• Sebring front and rear valances replace the rubber bumpers, all supported on aluminium 
• brackets and perfectly fitted using seam sealer which make the look very factory finish. These have a purpose, particularly the front having air ducts to push cold air at the oil cooler and radiator more effectively 
• Slight corrosion on the rear arch lips that would easily be rectified 
• Nicely fitted leather and stainless steel bonnet strap
• Red pinstripe applied to follow the chrome door strip 
• All chrome trims are in excellent condition with no evident damage or corrosion that we saw on inspection 
• All body panels fit well and we are lead to believe a majority of the car is original based on the restoration documentation 

The Mechanics 

• Starts perfectly with no evidence of rattles or smoke 
• Uprated & adjustable Spax shocks and lowered ride height 
• Fresh Avon tyres all round 
• Engine head has been port polished and freshly reground valves 
• The underside of the chassis is exceptionally tidy with just a light coat of underseal 
• Most components have evidently been replaced, refreshed or cleaned and this results in a tidy and easy to work on chassis, ideal for the home mechanic 
• Some areas of the car have had uprated bushings to assist the handling. This does result in a knocking/creaking noise at slow speeds due to the nature of the materials used and is normal 
• Recent MOT certificate shows a clean bill of health mechanically 
• Overdrive is equipped but currently this is non operational 
• Electronic thermostatic fan with override switch in the cabin 
• Extremely clean engine bay with almost no evidence of any oil leaks to see
