The Car starts, runs and drives great, one of the best braking MGs I have ever driven. Paint is older with many flaws and has some blue stains on it that do not show up in pictures, The paint condition looks better in pictures then it actually is, but is still very nice. The paint has many flaws but the Patina of the paint is part of the charm and it pulls you into the car quickly. The paint finish has the well worn provenance look of an older restoration and you will not be scared to drive and use the car.Leather seats and interior are nicely aged and is part of that comfortable patina. Tachometer has its own mind and Speedometer needle is bouncy. Car has great Oil pressure and does not burn oil. Engine runs strong with a stainless steel exhaust system, has original air cleaners, car has heater. Turn signals, light, horn all work. Car has the convertible top frame installed but no fabric top. all side curtains are present and stowed in proper location. Has a newer Robbins fulllengthtonneau cover. I have the windshield wiper assembly and motor. I would not say this car is a 100% correct restoration but it is a pretty close and faithful representation of originality, and all workmanship has been done is to a pretty high standard. This is a solid running vehicle which is great fun to drive. People love it and just walk around it smiling
