1959 Supercharged Mga on 2040-cars

Year:1959 Mileage:50
Location:

Carrollton, Texas, United States

Carrollton, Texas, United States

Per the Heritage Certificate for this car, it was constructed in July of 1959 and was shipped to the US with steel wheels, and a heater (yes, heaters were an option at that time).  The Heritage Certificate will be included in the sale; it will verify all numbers match.  The MG also comes with a re-creation of the delivery documents that would have been included with the purchase of the car from BMC [British Motor Company].

All upgrades are period correct and were available in the 1960's from various companies, with the exception of the electronic ignition.  The SuperCharger adds about 30 HP, delivering over 100 HP to the rear wheels.  The 3.9 rear axle is from a 1963 MGB; it adds better brakes, comfortable highway speeds and a higher top speed (112 MPH est.).  Additional components added that were not original to this car include:  dual core aluminum radiator, Petronix electronic ignition, Lucas back up light, Lucas passing mirrors, Talbot-style fender mirrors, stainless steel exhaust system, Amco luggage rack, Lucas high output headlights, aluminum valve cover, Harden valve seats and guides (to allow unleaded fuel), set of analog stop watches, 3-inch competition style lap belts, fire extinguisher, fog lights, badge bar, Amco wind wings, MotoLita steering wheel, and a Plastics Dynamic hard top.   

Many more photos, including photos of the car before beginning restoration, can be viewed at www.flickr.com/photos/59mga  I am done with this restoration and ready to move on to something else.  If  you would like a photo of a particular part of the car or have any questions, feel free to ask.

Please do not bid unless you wish to buy.  You may be surprised to find out how low my reserve is.
