A complete engine rebuild was carried out, the body frame and
coachwork restored and re-liveried in black with contrasting red
Rudge Whitworth wire wheels, which were respoked, and all
chromium items replated. The hood was replaced by Aston Martin’s
senior trimmer at Newport Pagnell, the previous home of Salmons &
Co.
Since 1995 DTU 999 has covered less than 5,000 miles, winning
awards at numerous rallies and concours d’elegance in Scotland and
at Silverstone. The car still sports its original AA, RSAC and SSCC
badges.
DTU 999 retains its excellent original red leather upholstery and was
fitted with new carpets in 2004.
The only known minor faults include the petrol gauge/sender and rev
counter which require overhauling.
This exceptional and historic MG, presented in the most versatile
three-position coachwork configuration, is offered with a current MoT,
all relevant registration documents, together with an outstanding
portfolio including 300 or so pages of bills, factory correspondence,
including the original sales invoice, and with service history from 1950
and many restoration bills since.
