Current V5 present. Paperwork includes a previous V5, MOT certificates, printed photographs of the vehicle, DVLA keeper history, some brief information about the car, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • This car was purchased early in 2025 by Mr. Stan Patterson, a keen previous owner of a number of MG Magnettes and allied BMC models. Having sold his previous example due to severe ill-health, he purchased this car as a finale to his motoring life. Regrettably, his illness progressed quickly, and he was unable to ever drive the car. He recently passed away, so the car is now for sale on behalf of his family
  • Knowing the model so well, Stan made an informed purchase of this restored example, the previous owner having spent a considerable amount of money restoring it
  • The body/paint were all apparently completely redone, the engine was replaced by a thoroughly rebuilt for unleaded fuel, early MGA 'B' series engine, along with a new clutch, a reconditioned differential, and a 5-speed gearbox for better modern-day driving
  • Internally, the car has been completely reupholstered, and much of the chromework has been redone or replaced. Recently, the car has had minor work carried out, mainly to the electrics to get it in full working order and ready for sale
  • It therefore appears as an excellent example of the model ready for the road
