1957 MG MGA 4spd Manual Coupe

For sale this very nicely restored 1957 MGA fixed-head coupe. The car underwent a full restoration in 2005; it has only been driven about 12,000 miles since (and only in nice weather) Excellent condition of the wooden floor boards. Paint quality is very good with no flaws to note and zero known rust; panels are straight with good gaps. Bumpers, grille, trim, rubbers and glass are excellent. The wire wheels were replaced with new reproductions in 2010; tires are even newer. The underside looks very solid -- it's not detailed to a concours standard underneath, but both the wood and steel portions are in great shape with no known rot or rust. Overall, the car shows to an exceptional driver standard --
The interior shows very nicely, with leather seats, new carpet and floor mats, reproduction door panels, and a restored dash and banjo steering wheel. All gauges, switches, indicators and lights are working. Headliner and package shelf are excellent. The red interior looks striking against the Old English White exterior -- it's a very attractive car, inside and out.

Under the hood is a 1500 cc engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2005; the car has also seen a new clutch, fully rebuilt brakes, suspension and steering components. The gearbox feels great and all synchros are good. The car feels remarkably tight and fresh -- it runs and drives as well as any MGA you will find. Comes with a folder full of records from the restoration.
