Description of 1959 MG MGA Roadster 1500

**PLEASE SCROLL DOWN THE AD LISTING PAGE TO VIEW A COMPLETE SET OF DETAILED PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE**Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very nice MGA 1500 Roadster. This car was recently purchased from it's long term owner of the last 25 years from the Pacific Northwest. The car was initially purchased and driven by him as a transportation car. In 2009, the car received a lot of attention which turned into a full, body-off-the-chassis restoration to nice standards, which was ultimately completed in 2012.This restoration included the body being removed from the frame, the front and rear suspension being rebuilt on a restored chassis with new marine plywood floors. The engine was sent out to a machinist/specialist and was totally rebuilt with hardened valves, bored .040 over, along with the twin S. U. carburetors, generator, new high torque starter, clutch disc and pressure plate, distributor, ancillaries. The transmission and rear axle was inspected and resealed. A new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted. The hydraulic system was restored with new brake lines.The body was disassembled, the bodywork received some minor metal repairs, epoxy-primed, then new Du Pont two-stage paintwork was applied with a good flow out of the clear coat, then oven baked. The car received a new wiring harness, a new set of Dunlop 165x15 radial tires on restored rims with new hubcaps, restored radiator. The chromework is a mixture of new and excellent used original items. The car received a new tonneau cover with a new reproduction sidescreen set, still in the bag. The softtop currently fitted is an older top in average/decent condition on the original condition top frame assembly. Also included is rare factory tool kit and engine starting handle.The interior was completely renewed with a Moss leather seat and armrest kit, a matching red vinyl panel kit, black cut pile carpet kit, a grey spare wheel bag, black competition style seat belts, a red sidecurtain bag, and door seals. The dashboard has been tastefully painted to match the interior trim color. The instruments work correctly.The car's engine starts instantly with the pull of the button. It is a very rewarding drive with good, quiet, tight suspension, a great gearbox with a superb and willing engine, excellent oil pressure, a perfect exhaust note.Overall, this nice MGA Roadster is very good value. It runs, looks, and drives well in a desirable factory color scheme. It has it's correct rebuilt 1500 engine fitted with it's clean and simple original steel wheel set up.
