Description

We are delighted to offer this truly show class MGA 1600 Coupe onto the market. NSJ 735 has had just one owner since a complete nut and bolt, body off restoration by marque guru Bob West between 1993-1998. Since rebuild the car has covered less than 9000 miles and on its first outing it was awarded ‘Car of the Show’ at the Footman James Classic Car Show at the Manchester G-Mex. The car is of true show winning standards, regularly involved in the Cheshire Concours D’Esprit.

The MGA was built at the Abingdon factory in 1959 to North American specification and returned to the U.K. in the early 1990's in need of total rebuild. Rebuilt under the watchful eye of Bob West' chief mechanic James Horner, the MGA was totally renewed from the ground up with a photo record. The body was removed and completely rebuilt, the chassis rebuilt and the car completely rebuilt mechanically and electrically. The car was painted beautifully in Dark Blue, brightwork renewed and new wheels and tyres fitted. The upholstery was completely re-trimmed and the seats modelled on the Le Mans MGA SRX 210 with original Halda Speedpilot and Hanhart stop watches.

The MG comes with a comprehensive file of invoices, restoration photo album, MOT's and workshop Manual. All these years on since rebuild this is not to be confused with the average condition one rebuild, this car has undergone a rebuild to the very highest of standards and many years on, this is still clear to see. The MG still presents as a relatively recent rebuild, it really is magnificent and, on the road, equally as impressive. The car arrives ready to use and enjoy, this is a very special car and one that will be hard to repeat.
