1959 Mga Twin Cam, 2003 Restoration, Warehoused Since, Very Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Sterling, Virginia, United States
MGA Twin Cam, Old English white, proven show winner. Shipped to the USA on 3-19-59 as one of 940 imports. I have the original owner's manual and original hardbound service parts list. Original owner Jim Eddy purchased the car for racing and used it solely as such. The first 16,812 miles consist solely of track time accumulated throughout the 1960s in California. In 1972 the engine was rebuilt, but before it was ever driven it was garaged in a barn in Ohio and left until 1999, when it was purchased by Delroy Moore. Moore undertook a four-year, $44,000 restoration. The engine (1600 Twin Cam #1477) was reengineered and rebuilt by Prather Racing of Wakarusa, KS. The rest of the restoration was done by John Wells of Summerville, PA. Mr. Wells has had numerous national show winners to his credit. Research into Mr. Wells' automotive artistry and Mr. Prather's racing genius will assure you no better example of the MGA twin cam exists. This is quite possibly one of the lowest mileage twin cams existing. Every piece, part, bit or thread is literally new, rebuilt or remanufactured. The engine, drive chain, chassis, body parts, dash components are original (except the bumpers, a few knobs and the chrome bezels on the gauges). This car has its original generator and US carbs. The exhaust system is stainless steel. The manifolds are original. Apple Hydraulics remanufactured the original brake calipers. The stainless steel brake lines are of course not original. The only things not complete are the top (I have the original bows) and the side curtains (I have the frames). I am the third owner. I bought the car in 2004 and it has been warehoused in Virginia since then, taken out for a few Sunday drives. I have all the notes, receipts, pictures and other documentation on the restoration. Terms of Sale: Vehicle is sold as-is, with no warranty. $1,000 deposit required within 48 hours by PayPal, cashier's check or money order. I will refund 50% if I have misrepresented the car once you have seen it. I will assist with shipping but you must make all arrangements. Title transfers at my location in Sterling, Virginia; you bear the risk of loss during shipment.
