Car description |
---|
First and foremost, f you have been looking at what I call a nice SURVIVOR MGAthat has little to no rust on it (and no signs of any rust repair, hanks AZ) this may be the best car for you. Keeping in mind, ou are bidding / buying the carfrom a car person enthusiast too, nd a seller who has been on Ebay for over 15 yrs with excellent feedback. Keeping all that in mind, lease read thru restof our ad and check out over 150+ great pictures and see if this may be the MGyou have been looking for, ither as a driver or for a personal car collection.This particular vehicle has been the hardest one for me to sell in yrs.I make NO CLAIM to be any sort of MG expert and honestly know very littleabout these cars compared to more so the Muscle Cars I normally sell hereon Ebay. I can promise to describe the car to the best of my knowledge withwhat I was told about the car from the last owner, nd with posting up picturesfrom any angle possible. Many times potential bidders see things I DONT SEE andhave no problem asking about the area in question. This is why I post up as muchas possible. I miss some things too. Ill never try to purposely sugar coat anythingor BS anyone with my descriptions. IF a potential buyer / bidder has ANY QUESTIONSabout this vehicle or WANT PICTURES OF ANY AREA I may have missed, leaseemail me at least 12 hours or more before the auction ends and I have no problemgetting better pics of ANY AREA on the car and posting it up in the ad for you andanyone else to view.Some history I do know or was told about the car: The last owner before me has ownedthe car for about 4 yrs. He purchased the car from a buddy of his who I believe he saidowned the car for about 20 yrs or more. This MG has been here in the Arizona dry desertclimate for most if not all its life and while in AZ its always been in a garage.The car runs and drives great, uch better then I expected for such an old non restoredcar. Ive been under this car and have looked in hard to see areas looking for rot andcant find any rust holes or even any repairs where rust may of been fixed. Sure, he carhas some surface rust in areas, ut even evidence of that is minimal thanks to the aridAz climate. The black paint I believe to have been done in the late 80s and Im prettySure its an original enamel style single stage paint. Black also looks to be the original color.The paint looks great in the pics and really, n person its pretty nice. IF you start lookingcloser to the paint youll see some flaws IE : scratches, hips, iscoloring in some areasaround the car. Another area Ive seen some minor flaws is along the seam where the frontfenders bolt to the body. About 6" long in at least one spot looks like minor bubbling. To meits very minor, ut if the car sells for what I think it may sell for, dont want any buyers tobe disappointed in the car if they win it. Below check out the pics, ll be trying to show allthe big areas as well as the smaller ones too.The car really does look great in person and black paint shows even the smallest flawsso keeping that in mind and after checking out the pics, he paint to me is acceptable fora fun driver cruise night vehicle.Most of the interior was just redone in the last few months. This includes the new leatheron the seats, ash and various parts of the cockpit. Carpet and convertible top are alsoNEW. The manual top is a little tricky to put up and down if you arent sure how to do it butits fully functional too. If it where my car, D just leave it down all the time. The car alsocomes with side window curtains I think they are called. These look to be original and notrestored and I keep them in the trunk.As for driving it, ull the choke out a little when its cold, urn the key to ON, ump the gasa few times and pull the starter switch and it fires right up and sounds great !! I usuallylet it warm up a little before I drive it, nd once warmed up I push the choke back in andit runs and drives great. The 4 spd trans feels good too. Reach under the dash, urn up thehidden radio / CD player a little and enjoy the ride.
OUR 100% feedback speaks for itselfand many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this pastyear here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it mucheasier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
We try to show all the areas well in the 100+ pics below.You can rest assure, e try to show more areas of our cars for sale then anyOther seller on EBay. Its the easiest way to buy long distance with less drama.Arizona cars are time capsules half the time and the best kind to buy.
DRIVETRAIN:I believe the motor to be the original 1500 but cant say forsure 100%. I have thought about getting a certificate of Heritage for the car to tryto verify more info on the car and if it doesnt meet reserve, just may do it in caseI relist it. The clutch and transmission feel good too. Under the hood is clean andwell kept, ut not a show car. Rearend is original too the best I can tell and ingood working order. No smoke, r weird noises coming from any of it all. I do knowthe clutch isrelativelynew along with the throw out bearing. Exhaust system sounds nice too.Overall, believe it to be mostly all original and the way it left the factory from what I tell.Im not 100% sure if its a matching #s engine, ut Ill try to find out if I can, o if you have anyquestions, sk away and Ill try to find out for you !INTERIOR:as mentioned early most of the interior is new or has been redone, ncludingA new convertible top.Driving it around I know at least the Speedo and Tach are working fine too.Even the map light, orn, ipers work as I think all the knobs on the dash are working.The burgandy leather is a really soft hide and really makes for a great look as well as acomfortable ride. I think the cushions where also replaced at the same time. Most of the interiorwork where done in the last yr and garage kept
EXTERIOR: the black paint almost looks like it could be original and just a survivorbut Im under the impression from what the previous owner has told me, e believed itto have had a repaint back in the 80s. I could be wrong. What I don know abou the paint isit looks great in pics and still looks nice in person. Its not a show car, ut could win a peopleschoice award in the next local car show :) . But just walking up to the car it shows welland usually black shows every flaw, really have to look over the car alot to find the flaws.But some are there and most are minor scratches and thin paint in a few areas. Lower windshieldmolding from the glass frame to the body is new. As are some other weatherstrips. The chromeon the bumpers is in really nice shape too as is the trim around the car. Some of the emblemsare not as bright as day 1, ut acceptable for a daily drive. The factory steelwheels look great withthe stock caps and beauty rings. Headlights and taillights work great as well.KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED MGA, ut to me looks closer to a WELL KEPT SURVIVORCA, ith a good history of any major repairs or damage in its history. PLEASE DONT EXPECT a fullyrestored show car, ven though the car looks AMAZING in the pics, t will still look great to theaverage, ogical buyer.
SUSPENSION: some normal repairs and updates have been done to the stock suspension overthe years and its been kept up to date. The tires are in like new condition with the wide white walls turnedto the inside, o if you like the wide whites, ou can have them flipped around easily enough for the look.The tread is in almost new condition too. Brakes feel great and have been done recently up front, f courseit is front disc on this yr/ model. Steering feels tight for a 50 yr old car and the car handles well, robablyvery close to the way it did back in 1965. The spare tire in the trunk is also basically NEW and never beenon the ground. Speaking of the trunk area, coudnt find any signs of rot or major rust issues. Check outall the pics please below and see for yourself.Im sure Im forgetting something, ut thats a start on whatyou are looking at buying. (SEE ALL THE PICS TOO BELOW)

Ive had a few people ask me if it would make a road trip andthe answer i, ES it probably would to the best of my knowledge.I dont see any reason why it wouldn, ut its an older car andanything can happen. I do know that the car does an an electricfuel pump on it too installed in the last yr or so..For all practical reasons, d have the car shipped via car haulerjust to be safe.

if you look at the pics of the trunk and inside you will also see this car comes with
a nice tonneau cover too so you can keep the top down and just use that most ofthe time.And yes, hey did paint over the seams on both front fenders at one time, emember thisis not a show car by any means for the purists. But very acceptable for someone whowants a car they can drive, ave fun in and enjoy without worrying about getting a chipor scratch by accident while on the road. These cars where meant to be driven anyways...hope the next owner can get some more miles on it !!
