Registered less than a week after the start of World War Two (in September 1939), by 1960 this MG was in the hands of an RAF officer in Bedfordshire, according to the buff continuation logbook. It has been owned by its last registered keeper for around 50 years. The MG was restored between 1992 and 1995, at a cost of £14,105, more recent work has included new wheels and tyres plus remanufactured front door cards. The vendor describes it as running and driving well with no issues. The odometer shows 91,807 miles; the last MoT expired in September 2013 after having been tested at an indicated 91,549 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the MG is now MoT-exempt.
