1959 MGA Roadster

The MGA replaced the MG TF 1500 Midget and was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955.

The car represented a complete break away from the earlier MG sports cars. They were produced from 1955 to 1962 and was replaced by the MGB.

The car was so different from the older MG models so it was called the MGA. There was a new in line 4 cylinder engine available with a four speed gearbox. The car had independent suspension and was available with either wire-spoke or steel disc road wheels.

The first cars had a 1500 cc engine with SU Carburetors and produced 51kW but was soon uprated to 54kW. The car had drum brakes front and rear and both a roadster and coupe version was available.

This specific car is a 1959 Roadster and the mileage indicated is 95 000kms. The car is beautiful in red with black seats and the normal steel wheels. This car was restored to a good standard a few years ago and is highly original. It is mechanically sound and can be driven and enjoyed for a very long time. It represents fantastic value for someone who wants to enter the classic car market!
