Description of 1957 MG MGA 2 Door Roadster |
This MGA embodies the designation “the most popular sports car of its time”. It starts well, runs great, and is a real joy to drive. It has been housed in a garage through restoration until now. History of the 1957 MGA The MGA was purchasedin 2000 from the second owner in New Mexico. Mileage was 5180 on the odometer. The New Mexico registration window sticker that was still on the car had expired in 1961, suggesting that it had been sitting unused since 1961. The restoration process took until 2005 to complete (Full history of all replacement parts is available). In early 2005, my employment related travel requirements increased dramatically, which meant the car sat largely unused until I retired in 2015.
