This car was recently purchased from it's long term owner out of a small town in Michigan, where it was stored for the last 37 years inside a garage.

Panel fit is variable. The door fit appears a bit tight. There is a hole towards the back of the hood that is quite repairable. The trunk floor is very solid. There is some rust appearing in the lower fenders and some in the dogleg of the rears. Underneath, the car needs inner rockers and there are some weak areas in the middle of the frame, just under the door area.The engine compartment is highly original and in the factory black color. The correct 1500cc engine turns by hand, and isn't stuck from sitting all of this time. Amazingly, the car still retains it's original washer bottle, air cleaner set, clips and clamps, etc.The car's interior is very original, including the headliner, seats, panel kit. Most of it has been dyed black at some point, and the main floor carpets replaced. There is a lot of the original gray carpets in some places. The car retains all of the tricky and hard to find parts that are unique to this coupe model. The glasswork appears all very decent and saveable.Overall, a very interesting and pretty MGA 1500 Coupe for restoration. These are delightful and attractive cars when finished, especially in this rare color combination.
