About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Tidy, lightly used engine bay and underbody. Older average quality respray. Uneven gaps. Lightly worn seats. No top present, but it does come with a tonneau cover. Apparently the brakes don't work. A few small dents in the hub caps. Photos from the restoration show a really rough car fully redone in a garage. Clearly a lot went into the car, but it was done to enthusiast standards and done a while ago.

Market commentary

Driver quality MGAs can regularly be had for a little under 20 grand. At the reported high bid, this would have been a straightforward and satisfactory result for both parties, but the consignor held out. The car isn't likely to get a much higher offer elsewhere.
