A wonderful restored example of this popular British sports car. Now showing some gentle signs of use. Paint work generally excellent with some signs of slight micro-blistering on bonnet tops and other panels. Chromium plated to a high standard. Interior 10/10 with no issues. Detailed extremely well in every respect. A well sorted MG in mechanically great shape and ready for the road.
