1989 MG MONTEGO EFi - HISTORICS AUCTIONS Saturday 25th September 2021 Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot Berkshire SL5 7JX

  

OUR FEATURED AUCTION
HISTORICS AUCTIONS
Saturday 25th September 2021
Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot
Berkshire SL5 7JX




1989 MG MONTEGO EFi
Registration No: F914 GAK
Chassis No: SAXXEYLU7BM500553
Engine No: 20HE130106450
No Reserve


Very low mileage
Timewarp condition
Fully stamped service history booklet

Produced by British Leyland and latterly the Rover Group between 1984 and 1995, the Montego started life as a four-door hatchback. The high-performance MG version was offered using a 2.0-litre engine and used the solid-state instrument cluster, trip computer, and synthesised voice for the information and warning systems. Essentially a Maestro with a boot, a total of 34,476 2.0i cars were produced with a further 7,276 Turbo’s, survivors now being very scarce.

This rare MG Montego EFi has the 1994cc fuel injected straight-four engine and manual five-speed gearbox. Finished in complementary white with grey cloth interior, the EFi has only covered an incredibly low 31,402 miles from new. First registered in May 1989, the condition of the car is remarkable and must be seen to be believed. Not only is the condition of the car incredibly good and the mileage very low, the car also boasts being supplied with all of its original booklets and guides, as well as servicing invoices from its life. The vendor describes the car as outstanding and a pleasure to drive with everything working as you would hope.

Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, all of its booklets, (including its fully stamped service booklet), old invoices and a spare key. Perhaps not your obvious classic, but an important part of British automotive history and in a condition second to none, this is a rare opportunity to own a time warp condition example.

FEATURED AUCTION

HISTORICS AUCTIONS
10th Anniversary  Grand Summer Sale
Windsorview Lakes
Horton Road, Datchet
SL39HY Berkshire
SATURDAY 18th JULY 2020



1957 MG MAGNETTE ZB
Registration978 EPA
Chassis NumberKAA1325603
Engine Number7803
Odometer reading60,642 miles
Estimate£12,000 - £16,000

This car can be viewed in person from 14th to 18th July 2020 at our the auction site, Windsorview Lakes, Datchet, SL3 9HY
There were two distinct series of the Magnettes; the ZA and the ZB, produced from 1953 through to 1958. The ZA was launched in 1953 and was the first monocoque car to bear the MG badge. The Magnette featured modern Italian inspired styling with power derived from the then-new four-cylinder 1.5 litre engine delivering 60bhp driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. The ZA was replaced by the Magnette ZB in 1956 with power increased to 64bhp. The extra power increased the top speed to 86mph and reduced the 0-60mph time to 18.5 seconds, sharing an engine to the similar Wolseley 15/50.
This MG Magnette was originally supplied by Manor Circus Motors Ltd, in Richmond, Surrey on 2nd October 1957 at a cost of £1,086s-10-9d; the original bill of sale is included in the comprehensive history file. In recent years, the car has undergone a huge transformation to prepare it for track racing and hill climbs. The bodywork was extensively repaired over a seven-year period with new sills, floors, doors, and wing repair panels. A full roll-cage has been installed with extensions to the front bulkhead and chassis rails as well as inside the sill box sections making this an extremely strong and rigid bodyshell. The engine is based on an MGB 1800 five main-bearing crankshaft and has been tuned to Stage Six producing around 125bhp. The gearbox is from an MGB and has an overdrive unit. The suspension has heavy-duty springs with AVO adjustable shock absorbers; MGB hubs and disc brakes are fitted - a necessity to help slow this now rapid vehicle. A V5C registration document accompanies this MG together with an extensive history folder. Interested parties are advised to view the Magnette in person as the quality and list of works carried out is certainly impressive.

1973 MG MIDGET Mk3 - COYS AUCTIONS TRUE GREATS SALE The Lindley Hall, Elverton St, London SW1P 2QW Wednesday 4th Dec 2019


FEATURED AUCTION

COYS AUCTIONS
TRUE GREATS SALE
The Lindley Hall, Elverton St, London SW1P 2QW
Wednesday 4th Dec 2019



1973 MG MIDGET Mk3
Registration No: DRJ 858L
Chassis No: G-AN5-UD/134999-G
No Reserve


The MG Midget is a small two-seater sports car produced by MG division of the British Motor Corporation from 1961 to 1979. The first version was essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of the Austin-Healey Sprite MKII and retained the quarter-elliptic sprung rear axle from the original Sprite. The engine was a 948cc A-Series with twin SU carburettors producing 46hp. Once evolved, the MG Midget Mark III sported a 1,275cc engine using the development seen on the Mini-Cooper ‘S’. Cosmetically improved, the hood was now permanently attached to the car, with an improved mechanism making it much easier to use.
This lovely Midget was purchased by the current owner in 1993 and has been regularly used and enjoyed since. Presented in the ever classic British Racing Green and accompanied by wire wheels all round, it is a charming little sports car. The file shows that it was a regular attendee of Concours events in the early ’90s and received several notable results. A great two-seat roadster which can be enjoyed from the start or brought back to former Concours glory.
