This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday 15th November, at the NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
Introduced in 1955, the MGA brought a fresh, streamlined design to the MG roadster tradition, combining elegant styling with engaging sports-car handling and the simple pleasures of open-top motoring.
Delivered new to the USA in 1958, this example features an upgraded 1,588cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Exported to Cyprus and restored around 2016, it was converted to right-hand drive and finished in glorious burgundy metallic, complemented by cream leather seats with burgundy piping, new carpets, wet-weather gear and side screens, a wooden Moto-Lita steering wheel, and a tan tonneau cover.
Imported into the UK in 2022, the MGA has been carefully maintained, with its wire wheels fully refurbished and refinished in chrome silver in 2024. It has seen only light use in recent years, including two years in professional storage.
In 2024, the car benefited from a comprehensive mechanical overhaul and refresh at classic MG specialist Manor Garage. Our vendor reports that it is running and driving well, with a smart presentation that makes it ready to enjoy.
A particularly attractive opportunity to acquire a restored and well-sorted MGA, combining classic British roadster charm with thoughtful upgrades and specialist attention. With the major restoration and recent mechanical work already undertaken, it offers appealing value for money for the next owner looking to get straight out and enjoy it.
