AI Listing Summary
This 1979 MG BGT, a rubber bumper model showing 88,000 miles, sold for £3,542, significantly over its £1,500-£2,500 estimate. It features desirable upgrades like power steering and electric windows, plus an extensive history file, making it an attractive classic despite its age.
Condition
6
The car is a 1979 MG BGT with 88,000 miles. It has been upgraded with power steering and electric windows and has a large history file including a service book with 9 stamps, restoration photos, and invoices. However, it is a 'rubber bumper' model from 1979, and the sale price of £3,542 exceeded the estimated range of £1,500 - £2,500, suggesting some wear or need for reconditioning that wasn't explicitly detailed but is implied by the sale price relative to the estimate. The MOT is exempt and V5 is on site, with a clear HPI check.
