Equipment
Resprayed resale red and looking sharp at 10 feet this roadster requires intensive car. Chrome trim outside and interior are dull and pitted. The grille is dented. The trunk alignment is off. The paint is old, poorly applied and oversprayed onto the rubber moldings. Oil was leaking out from the right rear axle hub onto the wire wheel. Engine bay and under car is indicative of an abused machine.
Market commentary
The bid of $4500 was not out of line for this beater MG. This car needs everything. If someone wants to invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours perhaps it can be brought back from the near dead but the next owner will always be underwater.
