Vehicle Description
This handsome 1959 MG MGA is the quintessential British roadster.
Born from a lineage of sports cars that dominated the twisting
roads of the UK and the challenging circuits of early road racing,
this MGA carries the torch of its iconic heritage. The bold red
exterior, proudly wearing its patina, tells the tale of a life
well-lived on the open road. The streamlined look, a result of the
removed bumpers and upper door trim, echoes the no-nonsense
approach of the British racing spirit. Chrome details, from the
grill to the emblems and bezels, add a finishing touch of English
refinement. The 15-inch wheels, wrapped in 165/80R15 tires, blend
classic British style with modern performance.
Settle into the black vinyl bucket seats, accented with dark red
piping, and feel the connection to generations of British sports
car enthusiasts. The minimalist interior, featuring a clean dash
pad and clear Jaeger gauges, keeps the focus on the drive, just as
the MGA's designers intended. Grab the 4-speed manual shifter and
take control, while the removable center armrest offers a touch of
comfort during long stints behind the wheel. The black carpet
completes the interior, and while the black soft top shows its age,
it is ready for the exhilaration of open-top motoring in the great
British tradition.
In 2018, the skilled technicians at Glen's MG in St. Pete breathed
new life into this MGA's 1600cc 4-cylinder engine, a powerplant
that traces its roots back to the early days of British motoring.
Dual single barrel SU side-mount carbs, a staple of British sports
cars, feed this engine, while a single exhaust allows it to sing
its throaty song. The rebuilt engine pairs with a 4-speed manual
transmission, delivering an engaging driving experience that
connects you to the car and the road. The drum brakes on all four
corners provides confident stops.
