This MG was built on November 11, 1948 at the MG works in Abingdon-on-Thames according to factory records maintained by the MG Car Club . The MG was originally delivered in Great Britain and is rumored to have been owned by a Swiss film industry executive who later shipped the roadster to Boca Raton, Florida for seasonal driving. Under current ownership, the MG has received servicing by the specialist shop, From The Frame Up in Mesa AZ. The servicing spanned from 2019 to 2021 which included a full engine rebuild, gearbox servicing, electrical replacements, brakes, suspension and alignment, fuel sending, air filter, cooling, rear differential, dash components, and paint touch-ups. A new convertible top and tonneau cover were installed. This MG has been overhauled and is ready to be enjoyed!
