Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 5 speed gearbox, chrome wire wheels, Arnott supercharger with supplemental oiler, Lucas fog and driving lights, polished brake drums. EXU coded export car for the US market. Restored like new and used a little since then, it will respond to some attention and elbow grease to look even better under the hood. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Superchargers were popular add ons to early MGs and boosted performance substantially, in this case from 54 to approximately 70, which is a 30% jump. They also severely tested the rather spindly MG engine and were best used with discretion. That adds substantially to the appeal of this TC, which brought $66,000 at RMs Monterey auction in 2011. It is a very good value here.
