About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

One of 2,111 Twin Cams built. Received a body off restoration during the 1980s by an active MG enthusiast who lost his sight during the restoration and completed it with the help of local MG Car Club members. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Dangerously low hanging exhaust. It looks much newer than a 25 year old restoration, but still shows some age with pitting on the chrome hood vents and lightly worn upholstery.

Market commentary

Worth more for the story than for the car, but sometimes that's the way it works and the result is a gratifying acquisition for the new owner even at this premium price.
