1961 MGA 1600 roadster. Project car. In need of complete restoration. Please read description and view photos carefully before bidding.  
This is a complete car and has been in my possession for 18 years. I have clear MA title. The mileage shown on the title is (9. 99. 99). The odometer reads (55979). The actual mileage is unknown. I believe the car is mostly original. including the engine and transmission. The engine will turn by hand but does not run. The transmission shifts through all the gears. and the car rolls freely.  The frame appears to be reasonably solid. but obviously needs some work. particularly in the passenger area. The floor supports. and battery brackets will need replacement. There is some minor damage to the front frame extension that occurred during transport. This is visible in the front undercarriage photo. The body is straight. with descent door and panel alignment. I removed the sills and rocker panels years ago in preparation for their replacement. ( I saved the old sills and rockers to use as templates if needed. ) The trunk floor is solid with no rot. The quarter panels. and the door posts will need repair pieces cut in at their bottoms. The radiator duct panel is rusted through around the rear corner brackets. There is a small crease on the right side of the rear bulkhead panel. This is visible in the passenger area photos. The passenger side B-post appears to have been replaced some time ago as well. I have all of the body trim. including seat frames. and original side curtains. I am missing the battery cover. and the original rear bumper. I have some misc. spare parts including a (rough) rear bumper. 5 wire wheels. (two 60 spoke and three 48 spoke). a pair of aftermarket side curtains. a set of carburetors. and a new/old engine gasket set.  
I have many more photos available. Please let me know if there is a particular detail you would like to see. (email is the best way for me to send photos). I will do my best to answer any questions regarding the condition of the car.  If you would like to view the car in person before bidding. please contact me through eBay to make arrangements.  
I am requesting a $500. 00 deposit within 48 hours of auction close paid to my PayPal account. The remaining balance due within 7 days of auction close. Final payment to be made through PayPal. Bank Check or Personal Check. I will not schedule pickup. or release the car before your check has cleared. and any remaining balance due is fully paid. If final payment is to be made through my PayPal account. the buyer must include an additional 2% over the auction closing price. I Will Not Accept Cash! This car is being sold as is. where is. with no expressed or implied warranty.  
Transportation is solely the responsibility of the buyer. I can assist with loading. and will make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I am also willing to store the car for a few weeks if necessary. However. I will not assume any liability in the (unlikely) event of theft. or any damage occurring to the car while being stored on my property after auction close.
Thanks for bidding!
