Description
**MG MGA 1500, model year 1959, 1489cm3, 50kW / 68PS
**As the successor to the successful T-series models (TA through TF, 1936 to 1955), the MG Division of the British Motor Corporation introduced the new MGA -- a vehicle that was far more modern in appearance and broke with its predecessors in many respects.
Not only did it have a significantly more aerodynamic shape, its construction also dispensed with the ash wood frames customary in the T-series models, and the venerable XPAG engine was replaced by the more modern BMC B-series engine.
Our MGA was first delivered to the USA in 1959, the final year of production for the 1500 model. It therefore still features the attractive small taillights, but is otherwise barely distinguishable from the later models.
We assume that the car was extensively restored more than 20 years ago -- and it still looks thoroughly impressive today. It was obviously treated with great care despite being used sparingly, so the vehicle has acquired only a gentle patina and very few signs of use.
The paintwork was executed cleanly and still impresses today with its rich gloss. The fit of the doors and bonnet also leaves nothing to be desired. All panel gaps and transitions between surfaces are impeccable by MGA standards.
All doors and bonnets open and close perfectly.
The entire body is free of any signs of corrosion, and the underbody and wheel arches are also free from defects.
The MGA comes from long-standing, prominent previous ownership and has been excellently serviced and maintained over the years.
Pull the choke, switch on the ignition and pull the starter button ...
... the B-series engine fires up instantly and accepts throttle from the outset without hesitation.
It responds immediately to every input and feels relaxed and confident on the road. It accelerates the lightweight sports car effortlessly and, together with the ultra-crisp 4-speed gearbox, makes driving a real pleasure. The seating position is low and sporty, with ample legroom and a steering wheel positioned almost vertically in front of the driver.
On the road, compared with most cars of its age, the MGA benefits from its precise, play-free rack-and-pinion steering. It provides impressive steering precision and excellent straight-line stability while requiring little effort to operate.
The interior pampers occupants with leather seats and a beautiful painted dashboard. Some instruments were apparently replaced during the restoration with later-year models of the same diameter.
The MGA comes with a soft top and a tonneau cover -- and the two removable side screens with sliding windows are also included.
The MGA is ready to drive immediately.
Before handover, it will receive a new general inspection, an H appraisal and a valuation report (short assessment) for your insurance company.
On request, we can deliver this beautiful vehicle to your doorstep at cost price.
