Equipment
RHD. 2,278/75hp six, 4-speed, wire wheels, Dunlop tires, single Lucas driving light, dual chrome horns, headlight stone guards, dual mirrors, suicide doors, landau bars, wood dash and window trim, Jaeger gauges.
Condition
Good paint with some orange peel ahead of the grille and some blisters at the back of the hood. Very good chrome. Clean top. Lovely interior. Rare, solid example of MG's large prewar model that competed with the likes of the SS Jaguar. Reportedly produced originally as a four-door saloon and later rebodied in about 2009 as a drophead by SVW Limited in the style of Reinbolt and Christe. Replacement engine from s/n SA2857.
Market commentary
The SA is a rare big MG (if 2.3 litres can be considered "big") and came with upscale coachwork. This is an attractive drophead coupe, but it must be kept in mind it's not the original body on this chassis nor even an original body being constructed two decades ago. It is, however difficult to fault in any meaningful was and while this is a handsome price for an MG SA it's also a handsome MG SA Drophead.
