MG MGA 1959
General description :
Introduced in September 1955, the MG A represented a new class of modern sports car. The running boards based on pre-war design, were from its predecessor and outdated. The MG A was an instant success with the market and was more affordable than a Triumph TR3 or an Austin-Healey 1000. The US exports in particular made the MG A a success for the manufacturer in Abingdon.Our MG A Roadster has been registered with its current owner in Germany since 2012 and we have service documentation since then. This roadster is super fun to drive and a reliable companion for all outings!
