1961 MGA driver, a complete car with much originality.  Straight accident free body with doors, hood and boot lid which fit and close exceptionally well. One family owned this car for the last 40 years and kept it up mechanically.  Runs, shifts and drives quite well with excellent oil pressure.  Engine has typical oil leaks.  Stops straight with firm brake pedal, and the clutch is smooth.  All gauges operating, no bounce in the tach or speedometer.  Less than 46,000 on the odometer.  Old but serviceable convertible top, no side curtains, windshield wipers operating.  Frame is solid throughout and straight as an arrow.  Original black leather seats (torn but restorable), vinyl panels, and remaining carpet.  Painted once many years ago, looks okay from 10 feet but is in bad condition and needs redone.  Solid fenders but rust in rocker panels, inner sills and boot floor ( a replacement floor in very good condition will come with the car).  Vredestein tires with lots of tread, 60 spoke wheels.  This is a nice MGA despite its rust and paint issues and it could driven now after a thorough check up.  It is an excellent candidate for restoration.
