⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The MG 1300 offers a brisk, compact, practical and comfortable option into MG ownership.

Demonstrating Sir Alec Issogonis talented breadth of engineering principles, the family-sized series of BMC 1100 and 1300 became the choice of the small family car in 1960s Britain. Crisply styled by Pininfarina, the model, known internally as the ADO16, was designed around the durable BMC A-Series engine. Mounted transversely and driving the front wheels, it established a class-leading interior package which was to become the template for the modern car. However, it was its innovative interconnected hydrolastic suspension and its controllability and ride comfort on all road surfaces, that helped place the ADO16 as one of the BMC all-time greats. When the larger 1.3-litre engine was added to the MK II models in 1967, demand initially outpaced supply during the vehicle's first two years of release. The MG 1300 was sold with a twin-carburettor 65BHP set-up, much like the Mini Cooper S unit. Adopting a plusher interior with the veneer dashboard from the luxury Riley variant and ventilated pressed steel wheels, promotional films of the era portrayed the MG 1300 as a suitable club racing car that could also cater for the week's shopping.

Coming to market after just over 8 years with our vendor this well-preserved 1970 MG 1300 in "Smoke Grey" is complemented by a blue vinyl interior and has seen just 4 former keepers. Benefiting from regular maintenance, it comes with a file of invoices dating back to the early 90s and has seen almost £6,000 worth of maintenance in the last 7 years. It is tax and MOT-exempt and comes with two keys.
