My in-laws bought the MG in 1954. They drove it from Cleveland
to Lawrence, KS with child in the boot in the early 60's. Al (Dad)
commuted to work at KU for over 40 years. Then he drove it
occasionally. He sold it to a Brit car restorer in 2010. Al passed
away almost three years ago and never got to see what the car wound
up looking like after the restoration. In 2015 a Dr in KC bought it
and drove it to the golf course now and then. He moved on to other
toys and it went up for sale at KC Classic Auto. A friend spotted
it, called us and said he thought it looked like Al's MG. We went
to investigate. While were looking through the restoration albums
we spotted Al in a photo when they picked up the MG. Needless to
say we bought the car.
The car is a complete frame off rebuild and runs like a top.
Original owners manual and shop manual are included as well as most
of the kit.
There are two rebuild albums with a lot of photos, unfortunately
many are not great quality, probably taken with a cell phone. I
will scan some of the better ones and post them.
We don't drive the MG like we thought we would. They are built for
a somewhat smaller frame than I have. We've put less than 25 miles
on it in one year and feel that this vehicle should go to a home
that will appreciate it and drive it.
Thank you for looking at Al's MG.
