The defining feature of the Twin Cam is its 1,588cc DOHC inline-four offering 108bhp, 0-60 in nine seconds and 113mph
Professionally restored by noted MG specialist Simon Robinson in 1992 and subsequently featured in Classic & Sports Car magazine in 1995, underlining the car's quality and significance
Retains its original Twin Cam engine and four-speed gearbox, remaining correctly positive earth, whilst benefiting from a cabin-operated electric cooling fan for improved usability
Recent mechanical work includes re-bushed front suspension, an uprated front anti-roll bar, negative camber wishbones, a re-cored radiator, new water pump, hoses and clutch slave cylinder
Accompanied by an extensive spares package including the original steering wheel, original boot lid complete with luggage rack, a long-range final drive ratio and a new electronic ignition system supplied but not fitted
