Lot details
Registration No: BJX607Y
Chassis No: SAXXBZND1BD675062

- Only 49,000 miles

- Current ownership since 1985, 2 owner vehicle

- Original dealer plates fitted, two sets of keys

This model was one of the pocket rockets of its day but, though nearly 22,000 were made, they now rarely come to market, meaning this No Reserve example should be a good buy for somebody. A very early build, it's had just two owners from new, a lady in Brighouse, West Yorkshire and the vendor who's retained it since 1985. In fact, the manual transmission MG has been in dry storage for the last 16 years, which has helped keep the mileage down to a mere 49,310. Finished in Black and trimmed in a mix of red-piped houndstooth and plain Grey cloth, it appears to be in very original order, complete with Red carpets, strident Red Turbo badges on its flanks and tail, and distinctive slotted alloy wheels. A righthand drive home market car, it is offered complete with its original dealer number plates and registration 'BJX 607Y', and two sets of keys.
