1957 MG MGA

MG MGA (1957)
for sale

Price: US $20,000.00

Description:

This car was restored by the premier British Car shop in Oregon. It is a body off restoration with modifications to make the car more powerful and fun to drive. This is NOT a numbers matching car. The body, frame and tub came from different cars and the engine is a 5 main bearing B motor. This car is fast and really fun to drive. I am a big man- >6 >220# and the cockpit is comfortable for me. The overall build philosophy was to do only those things that a knowledgeable MG owner would do to enhance and improve the car. The primary visible difference is a custom roll bar that is removable. The list of things that were done to the car consists of 6 pages of single spaced type but here is a list of the high points;
Engine
B motor .030 over- selected because of additional displacement and 5 main bearing bottom endCross flow head- better breathing1.75 SU carbs- Mild street camUpgraded ignitionOil coolerLarger radiatorCeramic coated header
Drive line
5-speed Ford trans- Gives the car a true overdrive- 60 MPH/2900 RPM!!- and is a sweet boxLight FlywheelHD Clutch
Miscellaneous
Custom paint over a very painstaking body prep- the car shows extremely wellLeather interiorWood wheelKnock off Minilite style wheelsPolished burl dashCorrect instruments
And the list goes on. If you ask nice I will provide a complete parts list. I am reasonably sure that this is a one of a kind build- I have never seen an MGA done to this level and spec.
