Service History

1970 MG 1300 Mk2 2-Door Saloon – 2 Owners from New | Impeccable Original Condition | Supplied New by Bryants of Birmingham

Offered here is a beautifully preserved example of the MG 1300 Mk2 — a rare 2-door saloon version, first registered in 1970 and retaining matching numbers throughout. Supplied new by Bryants Limited of Birmingham, the car has had just two owners from new and remains in remarkably original condition, both inside and out.

Unlike many examples that have been restored or modified over the years, this car stands out for its honesty and authenticity. The bodywork remains in excellent shape with crisp panel lines and excellent shut lines, while the brightwork and trim are correct and well-preserved. Inside, the cabin shows only the lightest signs of use and is a clear reflection of the car’s careful ownership over the last five decades.

Mechanically, the car performs just as a well-sorted MG 1300 should. The twin-carburettor A-Series engine delivers lively performance, paired with a smooth four-speed manual gearbox and the characteristic Hydrolastic suspension — offering an engaging and comfortable drive. Everything feels tight, composed, and unspoiled.

This MG 1300 Mk2 is an increasingly rare find: low ownership, documented provenance, matching numbers, and presented in unrepeatable original condition. A must for collectors and MG enthusiasts looking for a car that truly embodies the spirit and charm of classic British motoring.
