The MGA is an incredibly fun car for classic touring and rally’s, among other things. Besides the world-famous MGB, the MGA is an iconic car, which set the tone within the company, during the second half of the 20th century. This car was a totally different car in every way compared to the MG TF. Some characteristics of the MGA include its low design and exceptional stability. The creation of the MGA resulted from the need for a streamlined ‘sporty’ car for privéracers, who were eager to participate in the 1951 Le Mans 24-hour race. Three prototypes of the MGA participated in Le Mans in 1955, two of which even finished in the top 20! This illustrates the impressive potential of the MGA, in terms of competition.Although the later builds may be slightly faster, in our opinion the earlier examples remain the most fun because of their purity. With rack and pinion steering and independent suspension, the MGA combines classic looks with extremely good handling and (for its time) sporty performance. This makes this MG beloved by car enthusiasts and not for nothing is the MGA an important car for the brand and fortunately a valued model. This beautiful black example comes from 1956 and was the show car for the 1956 Copenhagen Motor Show! We also find this in the documentation. Thus, we provide a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, which presents the ‘factory record’. Thus we see that the car was originally black on the outside and red on the inside, just as it is today, and the first owner of this MG received the car with disc brakes and a speedometer in kilometers per hour. This car is in good condition. Several years ago, this MG was restored and overhauled and therefore this MGA looks very nice.

The color combination of a black exterior and red interior is very nice (although opinions may differ), but more importantly, the car was delivered this way at the time. Because of the restoration work, the exterior looks good with a deep black gloss and good fits. In addition to a nice convertible top, the interior looks nice and cared for and the restoration work in the interior is good. Both the steering wheel and instrumentation are cared for and the whole thing looks very nice. Under the hood it also looks very good and the engine runs clean. Of course, driving the MG is as you would expect from an MGA. Due to the overhaul work, the car drives very well. The gearbox handles well, as does the clutch, and driving this MG is pure and plenty of driving pleasure. In addition, the underside of the car is also in good condition and we can conclude that we are dealing with an MG that is ready for many beautiful rides. With the car we supply, as mentioned, the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate. Are you interested in this beautiful MG? Please contact us. You are welcome in Brummen!
