Description
These charming modern classics are today’s bargain priced roadsters, but as ever it is essential to reach out for the very best example. This being the rarer and more sought after VVC is 10 MPH faster than the standard 1. 8 (130 MPH) and 1. 5 seconds faster to 60 MPH (7 seconds), so a cherished one is like the proverbial hens’ teeth. The preservation of this particular car is owed mainly to the second owner who purchased from a main dealer in 1998. It was been used sparingly, but regularly during his long term ownership as the history supports. A point of interest is the collection of 17 MG rally attendance plaques from 1999- 2014 which verifies his enthusiasm for the vehicle and MG’s generally. In 2015 (3, 000 miles ago) the head gasket, water pump and cam belt were changed on the recommended precautionary basis by a proper garage, as with all the maintenance. The car bears an attractive dateless number plate, has hard top and tonneau and the short- shift manual gearbox adaption. Finished in Flame Red with complementary trim, this black-silver-red combination are classic ‘MG’ colours and this car is immaculate throughout. We supplied this to the last lady owner and are pleased to offer the car again with just 27, 000 miles covered since new.
