1962 MGA
MKII. Over the last 5 months she has
undergone a sympathetic refurbishment to become the running, driving, stopping
head turning car she is today.

Here are some high pass details:
Utilizing a scale similar to the
Hagerty scale with 1 being a concourse and 4 being somewhere between a parts
car and a working driver, this car is a 2- or 3+. Lacking very little to be a solid 2. Glad to discuss my opinion with you. My insurance established a value of $30K for
the vehicle, though I believe that may be a little above current market
conditions;
Engine was rebuilt about 3, 000 miles
ago by the previous owner. It runs
strong and pulls hard. Currently the car
is fitted with a new Weber downdraft as this is my personal preference for a
driver. The original SU carbs are
included and are operable, though the cork seal on the back bank is leaking;
Current Texas registration. Current Texas Inspection. Clear Texas Title in hand;
Over the last 5 months every system has
been looked at, touched, checked. We did
what we thought necessary and beneficial to make this a car that can be driven
to any show, enjoyed on backroads and make the owner proud. Here is a partial list of what was done:
o
Brakes:
Master cylinder changed, rear shoes replaced, rear brake cylinders replaced, blead, cleaned, painted, emergency brake repaired
o
Cooling:
Radiator replaced, thermostat replaced, Smith coolant gauge replaced, new
fluids and “burped”;
o
Drivetrain:
Engine evaluated, ignition wires and plugs replaced, generator pulley replaced, exterior gaskets replaced, transmission serviced, clutch disk and release
bearing replace, new slave cylinder installed along with hydraulic line, propeller shaft cleaned and painted, differential serviced,
o
Electrical:
Replaced harness, many switches, lights and fixtures so that currently every
electrical device is operational;
o
Exterior:
repainted with multiple coats of Omni base/Clear deep black. Replaced front & rear bumpers, replaced
top, replaced spinners, repainted wheels with 3 coats of base & 3 coats of
clear, new body pipping, new wheel spinners, new windscreen, new emblems and
vents, new lift-the-dots
o
Interior:
new carpets, new panels, new dash coverings, new rails and rail coverings, new
steering wheel and hub, new thresholds, new blanking plate, reworked seats and
seat frames, replaced tachometer, replace switch knobs, replace stainless
screws, paint top frame, install wheel cover and trunk carpet kit,
More work than this has been done, but
this catches the big stuff. Look at the
pictures.
What does it need? That is up to you. My opinion is nothing for a fantastic
driver that shifts smooth, stops straight and runs great.
Please note that the speedometer does not read accurate. Will try to correct.
Car is located in Dish Texas which is
North Dallas/Ft. Worth near Texas Motor Speedway. Please inspect or have inspected if you
desire. Of course, with any car, she is
being sold as is-where is. I wouldn’t
hesitate to drive her across the country, though I’d rather do it in a B.
Yes, I would consider a partial trade
if it was right.
Yes, I MIGHT help with getting her to
you, however that will be OUTSIDE of this listing and NOT INCLUDED in the
winning offer. Probably need to be
within 350 miles or so. Give me a call, text or email. Bryan 940.206.9372.
She is for sale locally so I reserve the
right to terminate early.
Feel welcome to ask questions.
