Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Wire wheels. Dual horns, Lucas fog light, rear mounted continental spare. Concours restored with the slightest bit of road use evident on the underside. Its history, however, is a challenge. Apparently origilly bodied as a saloon, then rebodied in Switzerland in the style of Keller by Peter Ratcliffe. But then it was converted to the Tickford style by Gene Ponder. What is it An MG SA is about all thats sure. No Reserve. John OQuinn Estate.

Market commentary

Its a pretty car, and eminently usable. It brought $118,800 at RMs sale of the Ponder collection in 2007. Forty thousand less is a bit of a hammering, but even this price generously values its performance and convoluted coachworks history.
