Description
MGA MK1 1600 1961 LHD roadster USA import ongoing project car.
Imported back to the UK in 2012 where i purchased it from a specialist.
I have collated a restoration file of all work i have undertaken including pictures and invoices. The file also includes the previous owner and registration in the states and import doc.
The mileage on the clock reads 85, 565 approx however, i have no paperwork to back this up.
I am selling as i no longer have the time to work on the car and will neither have use for it once completed. I felt it would be better to sell to someone who wants a project with not much work left to do on it.
The list of work done is as follows,
Chassis shotblasted, repaired where required, epoxy primed, black primed and painted.
Body shell and wings have been shot blasted, coated with epoxy primer, repaired where necessary and body filler has been applied to begin reshaping.
