Chassis no. HDC468175; Engine no. XPEG2028. Black with beige cloth top over green leather. 1466/63hp, 4-speed, silver painted wire wheels, Nankang tires, badge bar, dual outside mirrors, halogen headlights.

Evaluation: Excellent paint with no flaws or chips. Sound but stretched upholstery. Vinyl wrapped steering wheel. Bright, clear gauges. Excellent top and tonneau cover. Spotless engine compartment and chassis. Better than it left the factory except the stretched leather.

Bottom Line: It will be a long time before we see another T-series MG, let alone a “high performance” 63hp TF 1500, as good as this. It was lovingly restored by an informed MG enthusiast, David Shelburne, and has only show field miles since it was completed in 2016. This is a realistic result, but it is so good that it also could have brought a little more without being expensive.
