For Sale: 1958 MG MGA in Halton Hills, Ontario

1958 MG MGA 1500 Roadster For Sale - Beautifully Restored Example, North American Spec LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1958 MG MGA 1500 Roadster The MGA can trace its roots back as early as 1951, when Syd Enever, MG's chief designer, fitted an aerodynamic body to George Phillips' TD for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The idea was shelved until 1955, when three pre production, aluminum-bodied prototypes ran again at Le Mans, with two finishing fifth and sixth in their classes. Introduced in 1955, the MGA brought MG fully into the post-war era. As a replacement for the MG TF, at its heart was a 1,489 cc inline four-cylinder engine, topped with twin SU carburetors and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Although its initial output of 68 bhp (which was shortly raised to 72 bhp) seems small by today's standards, the MGA tipped the scales at just over 900 kg. It proved to be a hit with customers both in England and abroad, with 13,000 examples sold in the first year of production and a total of 101,081 examples built by July of 1962. This example offered here for sale was built in the left-hand drive specification destined for the North American market. Finished in its factory shade of Black lacquer paint and outfitted with a beautiful Tan interior this beautiful Roadster looks absolutely stunning. Recently it has undergone a beautiful restoration and is ready to be used and enjoyed by its next caretaker.

Considering this example's attractive colors, this MGA will surely not disappoint. Additional Details: -
