SUMMARY DESCRIPTION AD:
Current owner has enjoyed for over 16 years now. Purchased from a private individual in Columbus Ohio with the intentions of a fun drive on special days. Car drives, steers, accelerates, and brakes properly with the help of new brakes cylinders all around, and shoes as needed. Power is provided by a strong engine reading 160 to 168 psi in all cylinders and dash gauge reading almost 75 lbs oil pressure cold at 1300 rpm.

Driving this MGA puts the “SPORT” back in sports cars! Precise steering, pulling the next gear, winding up the RPM’s again, blurp the throttle & downshift for the next turn while still maintaining a safe & legal driving speed. You can feel the wind!

Paint-
* Current paint was applied sometime prior to current owner
* Complete paint appears to match fairly well all around and has a fairly good shine with various degrees of orange peal (see pics)
* Florescent light allows you to see it as amateur repaint
* Brushed touch up spots are of a bright white or lighter white then sprayed white
* Brush touch is mostly in areas of front hood and a few other spots on each panel to protect metal(see pics)
* Various nicks and light scratches on body panels but white is very forgiving out in the light and presents well as driver quality. Also some light grinding marks on front of hood ( difficult to see)
* Careful review of all pictures in Auto Connection website would be most informative.

Body-
* White panels of body do not have areas of rust perforation or rust through.
* Gaps or fits around hood, trunk, and doors are consistent.
* Hood, trunk and upper panels surrounding are fairly straight
* The body panels are not laser straight and have some waviness, but do not possess any signs of current collision damage
* Review of all Auto Connection Pictures and the reflections will allow you to understand the body.

Magnetic Paint Gauge-
* Hood, Trunk, and two doors are of a non steel material so we don’t have the ability to take readings on those panels
* Hood surround panel has approx 6-10 mils of material and fairly consistent
* Trunk surround panel has approx 10-12 mils of material and slightly higher readings behind license plate
* Random readings of front fenders indicate 6-10 mils average readings with slightly higher at left rear lower corner and right rear upper corner
* Left & Right rocker random readings in 10-12 mils range with the back half of left rocker indicating above max 20 mils and possible repair
* Rear quarters overall show random readings in 6-10 mils range with much higher readings in lower front of rear wheels which would indicate possible repair

Bright Work-
*Rear bumper, MG & 1600 trunk emblems, tail light bezels, fender mirror, headlight bezels, front turn signal bezels, grill, and rear convertible top mounts, all have good reflective qualities and the appearance of only a few years old
* Windshield frame shows more age then parts above
* Front bumper is good and solid with little damage but substantially more wear with dullness in some spots (see pics)

Glass-
* Windshield is very nice and clear with the “TRIPLE” laminated emblem made by Pilkington in England
* We did not detect any scratches, discoloring, delamination, bulls eyes, cracks, or wiper marks of any kind. Maybe a couple pin head sized nicks from normal driving but we couldn’t see them

* The car came with the Convertible framework installed. Owner removed for more storage and easier excess.

* The wheels condition can best be seen from individual photos of each (see pics)
* At least 2 tires have date codes of (402) and some cracks in side walls. New tires would be suggested for driving

Engine Bay Area-

Test drive-
Chad and the owner went for about a 6-8 mile drive in the car and Chad drove mostly. Engine seems to operate properly and as designed. Clutch operates well and transmission shifts up and down easily as needed. Ride seems to be correct. Steering is smooth with quick ratio for maneuvers. Brakes stop without pulling or any pulsation. Rebuilt master cylinder will assist in stopping.
All functions of the drive train seem to operate as designed. Title indicates “actual” mileage but owner has no documentation or proof of this being correct.

Conditions of Sale:

The Auto Connection representative has physically viewed the item being sold. The information comes from the seller and other research sources. Auto Connection is not responsible for any misrepresentation by the seller and/or errors in research results, including history statements of vehicle history, repairs, etc.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated.
Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags.

Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser.

The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale.

It is possible that this vehicle will be sold at a higher price than the highest bid (before or after the auction ends), if the reserve is not met. After the sale (if reserve is met or not), Auto Connection must receive at least a 10% deposit (wire transfer or official bank or cashier’s check) within 3 days of the end of the auction (or the Bill of Sale is signed). The high bidder/buyer has 10 days from this time to send the balance in full or final payment and inspect the vehicle (or have a 3rd party professional inspection).

For the most part, the vehicle for sale is not “perfect”. It is unreasonable to assume that every single flaw in the paint, body, engine, etc. or any minor mechanical items (such as a light not working) be considered a reason to refuse the vehicle. Major rust/rot, undisclosed problems with the frame, etc. might constitute a legitimate reason for the buyer to refuse to follow through with the sale. In that situation, the seller and buyer will try to reach an agreeable solution.

The buyer acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle to verify it is as listed and represented. He accepts the vehicle with all advertised equipment, options and accessories in “AS IS” condition with any faults or defects. The buyer will bear all future costs of repairs or correcting any defects that exist or may occur in the future. The seller will have no responsibility or liability for any consequential damages or injury caused by any failure or malfunction of the vehicle or any components. This car is being offered for sale by owner. The buyer and seller acknowledge that if the transaction is consummated and a dispute occurs relating to the sale, the laws of Ohio (the state that the car is located/sold) govern the rights and duties under the agreement.
