MGA 1500, 1959


Excellent body, new paint, 16k on rebuilt engine, really nice example

I don’t know the history of this car but bought it from someone near where I live. I was told the engine was rebuilt 16, 000 miles ago ( was told the odometer was reset to zero when the engine was done and, sure enough, 16, 045 miles on the odometer)….my tests, close to exactly 150 psi compression in every cylinder, 60+ psi oil pressure when warm, no smoke cold or hot, quiet valves…..all are ‘factory perfect’ and I would suspect what I was told was accurate.
When acquired, seemed to have original paint, faded, no rust, no dents, no signs of bondo, and incredibly straight. Had it repainted in base coat/clear coat acrylic black (which, on a car, shows every flaw), hand wet sanded and buffed, and it is laser straight. And with its new chrome, absolutely gorgeous.
Interior isn’t very old, is in very good condition as is the dash….original gauges, switches, and everything works. Brakes were just redone, has a good top and side curtains, steering is excellent as is ride, handling, and directional stability.
It isn’t gonna win any major shows but, on the other hand, would look great at a ‘local show’ or for enjoyable, reliable driving. Starts instantly, runs perfectly, has better compression and oil pressure than 90% of the MGAs for sale, great paint, nice interior, and really doesn’t miss a beat.
