Description

A delightful example of MG’s post-war saloon, this YA is offered at no reserve, and tastefully specified in Lincoln Green and with British Racing Green bodywork, over cream and tan interior.

Powered by MG’s 1,250cc four-cylinder engine that gave the model it’s “one and a quarter litre” moniker – as seen on the owner’s manual – ‘XSL 395’ puts its power to the wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox.

The interior features a number of desirable factory fitted elements, including sunroof, wood veneer dash, leather upholstery and door cards, floor-mounted pedals, and Jaeger dials and gauges.

Owned since the mid-1990s by the current owner, they report that ‘XSL 395’ has had just five previous owners in its 77 years on the road.

During that time, it has had a rebuilt engine, which would go some way to explaining the exceptionally low mileage for its age of just 16,000 miles indicated on the odometer.

The MG has also had its brakes serviced, and the light bulbs replaced by LEDs.
