The M.G. A was introduced in 1955 and in one guise or another continued until 1962 and they were very popular in their day and are still highly prized both for ordinary classic motoring and indeed also for racing.
This particular example which has the more desirable roadster body and the 1500cc four cylinder petrol engine dates from 1957 and was originally a left hand drive American export vehicle. It returned to the UK in 1990 and over the next two years it was completely stripped and a chassis up rebuild completed. The history file contains a photographic record of the restoration as well as £4500 of receipts for parts alone and the chassis was grit blasted and wax oiled with the body receiving similar treatment.
It is in lovely condition throughout and has covered little mileage since then, effectively still remaining in a rust free condition, although it would be fair to say it would benefit from a little tidying up.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
