Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1958 MGA Twin Cam Roadster
Let me state this right up front- this car is the very car that was
displayed for MG at the Paris France Auto Show in 1958. It is a
very unique car and has been restored to an incredible level- this
is not your average Twin Cam. This car is investment grade.
This 1958 MG MGA twin-cam roadster was manufactured between July
and August, 1958, and was dispatched that September to Paris,
France, for use as a display vehicle at the 1958 Paris Motor Show.
It was the subject of a four-year cosmetic and mechanical
refurbishment completed in 2022 by Muncie Imports and Classics of
Muncie, Indiana. Work included repainting the exterior in Old
English White, refinishing the frame, refurbishing the red
interior, and rebuilds of the 1,588cc twin-cam inline-four and
four-speed manual gearbox.
The car is equipped with a chrome grille, bumpers, 15? wheels with
knockoffs, a cabin heater, a banjo-style steering wheel, and a
removable black soft top and side curtains. This MGA was originally
finished in Old English White, and it was disassembled and stripped
prior to metal repairs and a repaint during the 2022
refurbishment.
Features include chrome bumpers with overriders, and a black soft
top with side curtains. Photos documenting the recent body and
paint work are provided in the gallery below. Steel wheels are
secured with two-eared knockoffs and wear Dunlop tires. A matching
spare is housed within the trunk. Stopping power is provided by
four-wheel disc brakes. The cabin was re-trimmed with red leather
upholstery, which covers the center armrest, dashboard trim, and
fixed-back seats. Equipment includes a period refurbished Smiths
heater and a dash-mounted rear-view mirror.
A 38-page invoice from Muncie Imports and Classics of Muncie,
Indiana totaling $173,608 details work that was performed during
the refurbishment. You did not misread- 173K in restoration
receipts!
Since our acquisition of this stunning and extremely rare,
one-of-a-kind Twin Cam, we contracted with our friend Daryl Wagner
at Automotive Artistry to do a final fettling on this car to make
sure it performs as it should. As usual Daryl did an outstanding
job and our receipt for $4,300.00 is also attached- Thank you Daryl
!!!
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold
our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet.... We pride
ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
