MG 1300 – AUB936J, need replacement engine. Registered Feb 1971, finished in white with red interior. Last log book change 2005.

MG 1300 – AUB936J was given a face lift and uprated ready for the 1968 model year. New rear light clusters, ventilated pressed steel wheels and revised seating also extended into the Wolseley and Riley variants. The MG version now sported a 1275cc engine and was offered only with a two door body. The fascia and instrumentation was dramatically improved and although initially known as the MG 1275 it was soon adopted as the MG 1300 Mark I. The Mark II 1100 continued to be made and was available alongside the 1300 for a short period priced at £788 7s 9d. Four speed automatic transmission was an option on the new 1300, but in this case a single SU carburettor was used. In manual form the engine produced a healthy 75 bhp and closer ratio four synchromesh gearboxes were fitted to both the MG and Riley versions. The MG 1300 Mark I was available in manual form at £812 19s 5d whilst the automatic version cost £905 3s 2d. The model remained virtually the same until it was discontinued in 1971 in favour of the Austin/Morris 1300 GT, the only changes being in late 1968 when the Mark II version was introduced which adopted the Riley walnut veneer fascia panel that carried a revolution counter, speedometer, fuel, oil pressure and water temperature gauges, A smart leather covered three-spoked alloy steering wheel extended the sporting image whilst optional extras available were an electrically heated rear window and reclining front seats.
