Equipment
2,912/145hp inline six, 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, luggage rack, BMIHT certificate documented.
Condition
Represented as the numbers-matching engine. Rebuilt engine. Very good paint and chrome. The fit on the trunk lid is a little uneven. The body looks straight. A few smudges in the top that would probably wash out. Good interior. The seats look brand new but the dash and switchgear look older, possibly original. A rather clean example of MG's largely unloved six-cylinder model.
Market commentary
The newest and arguably least interesting MG out of the Ponder collection, this is nevertheless a very nice C and the knowledgeable group of folks bidding on the older stuff recognized that. This result is on the high side of the price spectrum, but the car deserved it.
