Description for MG MGA 1961

I purchased the car in 2007 off EBAY. Since the car was in Grand Rapids. MI John Twist was contacted and paid to inspect the car before I purchased sight unseen. The seller told me he was selling for his brother and that the car had been stored in a heated basement since 1982. When I was contacted by University Motors they said the car was as described and worth the asking price of 12K and that they had records of work on the car up until 1982. I traveled to Grand Rapids and drove the car into my trailer and brought it back to Tennessee. It ran a little rough but hadn't been started since storage. My problem is that I have too many cars and have descided to sell the MGA along with my '48 MGTC and 63 Spitfire 4 ( with 10. 29 actual miles). Since I have had the car. I replaced the main floorboards. had the radiator flushed. cleaned & painted. nbsp; fan shroud placed. along with Clark restorations and Spares modifications for seat belts. Rebuilt set of SU carbs added along with a stainless steel exhaust system. Also purchased 5 new BF Goodrich Silvertown Radials and had the mounted to 5 new Dayton painted tubeless wire wheels. Other large tick items bought include MGA panel Kit. Leather seat kit. black carpet kit. curtain bag . tire cover . oto Lita wheel and hub. new gas tank and rack & pinon( the tank & pinon are uninstalled). The big ticket items came to 5498. 00. Many of the smaller items are shown in the pics. too much trouble to list. A conservative estimate is around 6500-7000. 00 in new parts total. Also included is spare set of MGA carbs. twin-cam dash. used rack & pinon with top frame and seats removed from the car. What does the car need to become a nice driver. front bumper needs attention. rear tail light plinths need repainting. new top. tune up. This car would also be an excellent candidate for a full restoration as it is essentially rust free with only surface rust on the frame. I have not started the car in 4 years but will make sure it runs before delivery. It has been in my basement since purchase. The car is registered with NAMGAR # 1916. The odomoter shows 9898 miles but I have no idea if that is accurate. Please feel free to come look at the MGA. nbsp; I am not a dealer. have a dental practice. There are british repair shops in Nashville you could hire to inspect the car for you. Worked for me. The first pics are of the car when I picked it up. the pics with the white walls. ect. was made last week. This car is advertised locally and in other venues and is subject to sell before the end of the listing.
