MGA Classic Roadster

A NEW 1957 MG MGA 1500 2-Door Roadster
Beautiful MGA restoration with Sebring front and rear styling. The 2 year frame off restoration was completed in September of 2015 The MGA sports a great performing MGB 1800 3 main engine with a 3 syncro 4 speed transmission and 391 differential gear for highway cruising. The goal of the restoration was to blend racing and nostalgic themes, while adding or improving safety, serviceability and drive-ability features. In keeping with the Sebring theme the radio is deleted; however the antenna is installed for future radio installation if desired. I like to describe this car as a new 1957 MGA roadster. It gets a lot of looks and comments. The MGA has won a couple of trophies at local car shows. The top is from England and features a custom a zippered rear window. You can drive with the top up during those blistering hot days and still get a top down fell without getting a sun burn. The towel in the photo covers the window to keep from scratching it.

The motor was rebuilt by previous owner. It was tested for leak down and compression. It maintains 65 lbs or greater oil pressure while cruising at 3000 rpm.
