1957 MG A - £28,950

This striking 1957 MG MGA is a beautifully restored and subtly upgraded example of the marque, benefitting from a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration completed by its first UK owner following repatriation from the United States. Originally exported to the USA in August 1957, the car remained overseas until 2013, when it was imported back to the UK. The first UK keeper then undertook a full chassis-up restoration, completed in 2019. As part of the rebuild, the car was converted to right-hand drive and refinished in its rare, factory-correct black exterior. During its final build-up in 2019, the odometer was reset. The car has covered just 6,630 miles since. The MGA presents beautifully throughout, finished in black with vibrant red interior trim and a black vinyl hood—a combination true to the period and highly sought after today. The attention to detail during the restoration is evident, with excellent panel fit, brightwork, and high-quality finishes throughout the cabin. To enhance drivability, the original 1500cc engine has been replaced with a rebuilt B-Series 1.8-litre unit, offering improved power and torque for modern motoring. This is paired with a Ford Type 9 five-speed manual gearbox, allowing for more relaxed cruising and a refined driving experience. These upgrades, while subtle, significantly enhance the car’s usability while preserving its classic character. Mechanically, the car benefits from renewed suspension, braking, and electrical systems, making it reliable and ready for immediate use. The engine bay is immaculately presented and reflects the high standard of workmanship throughout the vehicle. With just four UK owners since its return and accompanied by a detailed history file documenting the restoration and maintenance, this MGA is a superb example of a British motoring icon—ideal for classic touring, local shows, or simply enjoying the open road. If this looks and sounds like the car for you, book a viewing today - our coffee pot is always hot!
