1967 MG 1100

ONLY 27,500 MILES RECORDED FROM NEW

Registration No: GFV 902E

Chassis No: GAS53/111263

Guide Price: £6,000 - £8,500

The Morris 1100 was launched on 15 August 1962. The range was expanded to include several rebadged versions, including the twin-carburettor MG 1100 (introduced at the end of September 1962), the Austin 1100 (August 1963), the Vanden Plas Princess 1100 (October 1963) and finally the Wolseley 1100 (1965) and Riley Kestrel (1965). The Morris badged 1100/1300 models were discontinued on the launch of the Morris Marina in 1971, but the Austin and Vanden Plas versions remained in production in the UK until June 1974.

There are only 149 examples of the MG1100 known to still exist with the DVLA and this must be the best original one left. The mileage is warranted and it comes with the original bill of sale, as well as a copy of an article from a local newspaper dated March 1994, showing a picture of the car with the number plate visible, and its original owner with the article stating the mileage then as 21,000 miles.

Whilst it is now of course both tax and MOT exempt, it passed an MOT in December 2018 with no advisories. It drives very well with recent new tyres all round and comes with a copy of the AA handbook for 1966/67 in the glove box. The vendor states that is would make an ideal museum exhibit.

Note: This description is provided by the vendor and unless otherwise stated is 'Not Verified' by Barons or any person employed by Barons. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any statements made, whether they be statements of fact or opinion.

1978 FORD FIESTA 950cc

Registration No: Un-Reg

Chassis No: BAFBUM58259

Location: Warwickshire

- 141 miles from new

- Never registered and displayed/stored at The Science Museum in London from 1980-2017

- Highly original and authentic, go find another!

Perhaps the lowest mileage Ford Fiesta MKI extant, chassis BAFBUM58259 was manufactured in July 1978 and supplied new to Ford Personal Import / Export Ltd of 8 Balderton Street, London W1. Better known for selling 'Fords from abroad', the London dealership had yet to register the Fiesta for road use when The Science Museum acquired it during 1980. Featured within the Glimpses of Medical History gallery as part of a diorama showing assistive technology for helping an elderly person in and out of a car, the three-door hatchback remained on display until 2015 when the floor housing it was closed for refurbishment. 

The installation of new freight lifts with narrower doors meant that the Ford faced being cut-up to facilitate its removal from The Science Museum. Thankfully, Darren Wisdom who was working on site in 2017 intervened and saved the timewarp hatchback by constructing a special jig which allowed it to be rotated through ninety degrees and brought down to ground level (albeit with the drivetrain and interior removed to save weight). Recommissioned by Mr Wisdom with attention paid to its cooling system, brakes and gearbox etc, the Ford passed its first MOT test on 19th April 2018. Inspected by Paul Kingham of the Ford GT Historic Register a month later his conclusions were as follows:

'I can confirm that all key aspects of the vehicle are authentic and original including chassis, suspension, steering, transmission, matching original engine and even its paintwork. This vehicle has never previously been the UK registered due to it being displayed/stored at the Museum since 1980 when they received delivery from the manufacturer's showroom and is still in remarkably pristine 'as new' condition with effectively just its original delivery mileage recorded'

A copy sale receipt on file indicates that Mr Wisdom sold the Ford to Mr Richard Jordan for £11,550 on 29th June 2018. Entering the current ownership later that same year, this remarkable MKI Fiesta now shows just 141 miles to its odometer. A fabulous opportunity for Blue Oval enthusiasts everywhere.
