The owner is reducing his collection of classic cars, Mercedes and MGs in the UK. This original, first registered on 6th March, 1962, MGA 1600 Mk2 has been owned by the current keeper since 15th April, 1975 and infrequently driven since then, as he normally resides overseas. The original logbooks show 11 previous keepers of which most appear to have changed every year or two up to 1975 when the current keeper acquired it. Three of the immediate previous keepers were known to the current owner. Last driven on the road briefly in 2006 and dry stored since. Original engine (rebuilt in 1973 by the previous keeper) and gearbox. The car was the subject of a body off restoration during the mid-1980s having the chassis repaired, blasted and stove enameled, new wiring loom, stainless steel exhaust, new bumpers. Seats, trim, carpets reupholstered, hood and tonneau cover replaced and body repainted. Original side-screens are still on the car with perspex in good condition.
