Mrs Shaw purchased the car to be used as a weekend and holiday car and for enjoyment in retirement. The original sales invoice confirms the purchase price of £18,558.25 and all welcome letters to Mrs Shaw from MG Rover have been kept.
All handbooks, guides and dealership point of sale literature is in the MG leather folder along with the stamped service book.
