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
I
bought the MGA in 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 and will be included with the MGA). In early 2005, my employment related travel requirements increased dramatically, which meant
the car sat largely unused until I retired in 2015.
In mid 2015, a Sports Cars Dealership (owned
and operated by a mechanic whose family had previously owned a MGA dealership) performed a very comprehensive inspection and
repairs of all the mechanical systems and engine.
Here
are some of the key points:
Restoration

Cylinders, Carburetors rebuild, Cooling system rebuild, replacement of most
