A very pretty MGA Twin Cam restored in the early 2000s and still in excellent condition

HISTORY

Built in 1959 and sent to South Africa in component form as a CKD (Complete Knock Down) and registered in South Africa in 1960. Imported back to the UK in June 1993 and purchased by the current owner in September 1993 from Carisma Cars in Surrey and stored until restoration began in 2001. The restoration was completed in 2014 including a complete engine rebuild by Peter Wood of Westwood Portway Ltd. At the same time the car was UK registered with the plate 811UYG and used as a fast road car. We have a large ream of invoices from the restoration process.

CONDITION

Lovely glossy paint all-round that is not perfect but has stood up really well, excellent chrome, good Michelin tyres all round, very nice interior with no wear to the seats or carpet and under the bonnet the engine bay presents superbly, as does the carpeted boot area and spare wheel with cover. No signs of rust, this car was comprehensively restored in the '00s and as such is a wonderful, usable car - not a show-winning car, but you'd be very happy to show it! Under the car is in amazing condition with no rust and lots of new parts on show. Owners manuals and many documents, a magazine feature, a Heritage Trust certificate and lots of MOT certificates.
