Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this cool and classy 1959 MGA coupe. This '59 MGA for sale is a real head turner, with the stunning looks of its British racing background. Owned by the same family since it was purchased new in 1959, this two-owner 1959 MG MGA Coupe was purchased by the sister of the original owner, so it has a lengthy family history! This numbers-matching beauty is sure to get plenty of notice at the local cruise-in. Powering this over sized go-kart is a 1.5L (1489CC) inline 4-cylinder engine. The subtle rumble of the exhaust has a throaty throb that makes you second guess that it is only an inline 4-cylinder. British racing at its finest, this MGA Coupe is backed by a fun shifting 4-speed manual transmission. Running through the gears in this fine machine makes you feel like you are the star of your own spy movie! The exterior is fresh and clean, with a gorgeous coat of Red. With a lovely finish and complimented with chrome bumpers, this 1959 MGA for sale is ready to cruise in to shows and run down the boulevard. With classically styled 60-spoke wire wheels wrapped in radial tires, this British roadster hugs the road better than it did when it was new. The interior is refined and luxurious, with black synthetic leather sport buckets. Get it, grab the nostalgic steering wheel, take in the simple dash with an abundance of switches and levers, and you'll feel like you're in a vintage cockpit. Strap on your seat belt, because this particular MG for sale is ready for take-off! With only 841 MGA Coupes produced in 1959, this car is getting rarer and rarer. They're still affordable, easy to work on, and parts are readily available - just the kind of car that makes for a great entry vehicle into the world of vintage autos.
