About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Paint is fair, lightly faded with some swirl marks. All chrome is very good. Rubber on hard top roof has aged and shows cracking. Hard top is fair with paint showing several hairline scratches. Interior is fair, seats are original and show wear. The dash and instruments are new and connect except for vacuum boost gauge. Interior door panels missing on both sides. Engine bay is very clean and well detailed. Restored in 2009 and tastefully modified for added performance, it's no show winner but still a very sound car that's ideal for vintage rallies and weekend blasts through the countryside.

Market commentary

AA supercharger was common modification in period on MGs but, as usual, modification doesn't add value. The buyer seems to have forgotten that mantra and overpaid for what is basically a driver quality MGA Roadster, even if it is tastefully modified and quick.
