MG MGA 1600Cabriolet 1961
General description :
Schönes und gepflegtes Fahrzeug! Vor vielen Jahren einmal neu lackiert, die Lackierung weist im Detail dementsprechend kleine Altersspuren auf. Die Mechanik wurde in all den Jahren äusserst gut unterhalten und so läuft der MG sehr gut und zuverlässig. Die Fahrzeug-Geschichte ist bis Anfang der 70er Jahre dokumentiert und viele Unterlagen sind vorhanden. MFK 5.2018 Veteran. Einsteigen und den Sommer im MGA geniessen!
