In Preparation:

​​

This 1957 MGA MK1 Roadster boasts a stunning Burgundy Red metallic exterior paired with a Cream leather interior. Originally registered to Mr. Bardley, who owned the car for just over a year before selling it to fund a house purchase, it has since passed through multiple owners. In 1995, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive restoration, meticulously completed by Falla Classics in Bournemouth, with invoices totaling £19,850.

​

The car was driven sparingly until 2011, when it received another full nut-and-bolt restoration. This extensive work included a bare-metal respray, a complete mechanical overhaul with an unleaded fuel conversion, and the refurbishment of the gearbox and axle. Additional upgrades included a full rewiring, a brake overhaul, new chrome work, and fresh interior leather trim and mohair hood.

​

Noteworthy features include a classic MG Moto-Lita steering wheel, wire wheels with knock-off spinners, a hood with side screens, a boot rack, a Kenlowe cooling fan, a badge bar, and floor mats.

​

This MGA is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including the current V5 registration document, Heritage Certificate, previous MOTs, various invoices, MGA handbook and pictures.

​

This is a rare opportunity to own an immaculate example of a British classic that promises to appreciate in value over time.

Background :
 

The MGA, which succeeded the MG TF 1500 Midget, marked a significant departure from MG’s earlier sports car designs. Introduced to the public at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, the MGA showcased a radically streamlined steel body that represented a major technological leap forward for MG. To gauge public reception for such a bold design, MG chose to debut two prototype cars at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race. Both prototypes performed admirably, finishing 5th and 6th in their class, powered by the new B-Series engine that had recently been introduced in the MG Magnette saloon.

The MGA’s 1489cc engine initially produced 68 bhp, later upgraded to 72 bhp. It delivered impressive performance for the era, achieving 0-60 mph in just 16 seconds and a top speed of 98 mph. Throughout its production, a total of 101,081 MGAs were sold, with only 5,869 designated for the domestic market.

Notable mechanical advancements included hydraulic Lockheed drum brakes on all wheels, rack-and-pinion steering, independent coil spring suspension at the front, and semi-elliptic springs at the rear.
