Hydraulics have all been renewed including wheel cylinders.  The engine starts easily and sounds great. Oil pressure is great. The weber carb will need some final tuning due to a flat spot at lower rpm's.  After shutting the car off, it is leaking some oil between the engine and transmission.  I suspect that it may be an issue with the new rear main seal.  The owner replaced a worn first gear in the transmission during the mechanical restoration.  The transmission shifts fine, it does have an issue in that sometimes the shifter seems to get stuck in neutral.  If you move the shifter to left and right with some extra effort, it's then fine.  There are less than 50 miles on the restoration, and the long time owner thought it needed to be broken in.  As noted, the transmission shift fine and does not make any noises etc.  Suspension was completely renewed and components were painted - it all looks new.  Has new exhaust that has a nice tone to it.  As with most complete restorations, it will need final sorting as detailed.The body  is in excellent original condition as shown in the pictures.  The the body work and paint was completed by the long time owner in 2005.  It was repainted in the correct MG color which is Ditzler 9000.  The paint is driver quality and presents nicely. Panel fit is good. Body work and paint held up nicely over the last 15 years.  Bumpers in nice condition.  Grill and lenses are new.  Underside is in excellent condition and was painted/undercoated.The MG is fitted with a set of factory correct "Rostyle" wheels which were refinished and fitted with new tires.The interior is in excellent original condition as detailed in the pictures.  Carpet and door panels are in excellent condition and show very little wear.  Seats are in great condition.
