1959 MG A 1500 Roadster

Seller's description

The MG A was introduced in 1955 and produced over a period of seven years until 1962. Even though the car had barely made it into production, it turned out a big success for MG. Most units were made for export, as the MG A was popular on many international markets. As far as the look is concerned, it calls reminiscence of a tapered version of the Austin Healey. Considering its small size, it offers great and most of all pure driving pleasure. The 72 hp are absolutely enough to get the 1,060 kg lightweight going fast.

This very fine model was shipped from the U.S.A. to Italy in around 1991, in 2011 it found its way to Germany.

It was partly restored by a German specialist workshop in 2013. It is a perfect daily driver, equipped with silver foil racing stripes and a registered Bastuck shock absorber.
