1936; What a fabulous car. So rare now to find an all original MG, because this TA has been restored using all its original parts. Fitted with its original MPJG engine from new, its original gearbox and almost all its original body parts, all brought together in an excellent rebuild that many will wish they could copy. Previosu owner 43 years; A fully rebuilt chassis with original re-tempered road springs, steering, suspension, axles and rebuilt diff. Very sound MPJG engine, orig, original radiator (just been re-cored) & excellent original shell. Recently overhauled brakes, steering (we have just fitted a VW Steering Box which completely transforms the steering in that it is now precise and very light, the original is with it and could be refitted within an hour or so), fuel system overhauled and fitted with a solid centre/twin 'O' ring no leak fuel taps. All the gauges are original (chronometric) fully restored by John Marks of 'Vintage Restorations' and working incuding the clock. The seats are finished in that wonderful thick, strong Celstra hide that Connollys were able to offer when this car was done. The seats have that lovely 'just worn' look to complement the rest of the car. The paint is excellent in Cellulose Ivory with correct red interior as supplied by the factory, together with full black weather equipment of roof, tonneau & side screens. This is such an early TA that the wheels were factory colour coded, and of course the rad. slats match the interior colour as supplied in 1936. The accessories are all correct, including the 'Altette'horn, Lucas FT 27 foglamp,air cleaner and the ORIGINAL tool trays with all their tools!! 3,000 miles since restoration so now nicely sorted.
