Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this charming 1959 MG A. Timeless, just may be the most appropriate word to use when describing the lines and styling of the '59 MG A. Many MG enthusiasts consider the A model the most beautiful to ever be produced. Over the past few years, this '59 has been well cared for. Charlie's British Cars Inc. of Tampa has made numerous repairs and improvements from installing new engine and transmission seals to rebuilding the carburetors. Please note, this is a non numbers matching engine. The current owner states it is a larger and more powerful 1800 from a MG B model. Cosmetically, the deep red exterior joined with a beautiful tan interior, banjo steering wheel, and wire wheels makes for an eye catching package that's sure to turn heads as you drive alongside the coast.
