When introduced, the "A" charted a new direction for MG. The cars were lower with sleek lines, more roomy interior, low seating position and more powerful. Most importantly was the departure of the body-on-frame design for a uni-body construction. The car was stiffer, much more rigid, and demonstrated vastly improved handling capabilities. The A transcended MG to the sports car world and developed a rich racing history. To this day, the MGA is considered the best overall MG produced. GR... Auto Gallery is pleased to present this absolutely stunning MG A for your consideration. Not often do we get cars that are pristine, but this 1957 surely fits the bill. Sold new in San Diego, California, this A was purchased from its second owner in 2010 and was treated a full frame off restoration that took four years. The car is finished in Old English White and is stunning. The paint and body work are excellent, as is the shiny chrome, and new period correct tires. The engine was rebuilt and it features a larger block from an MG B as well as APT Cam and ported and polished heads. The engine still uses everything else from the original engine and you would never be able to tell without disassembling it. The interior is spotless and features new dark tan hides and a perfect dashboard. The car also features new window seals, new alternator and starter. Everything is as it should and is probably nicer than when it left the factory. The current owner has enjoyed the car and has taken it to many shows where it has even won some awards. The car is a wonderful driver and even has a brand new convertible top. It comes with two keys as well as a spare tire, wheel hammer, and jack.
