Price: US $2,500.00
JUST OUT OF 40 YEAR BARN STORAGE THIS MGA WAS FOUND IN ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS. LAST ON THE ROAD APPARENTLY IN 1975 WITH MASS INSPECTION STICKER FROM 75 STILL IN WINDSHIELD. FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TELL, ACCORDING TO THE MGA WEBSITE, ONLY 6, 272 MGA'S WERE BUILT AS COUPES, AND 1956 WAS THE FIRST YEAR BUILDING THE COUPE. ONLY 16 WERE BUILT IN 56, AND ONLY 6 WERE IMPORTED TO THE US IN 1956. UNFORTUNATELY, TIME HAS NOT BEEN KIND. THIS MGA WILL NEED A COMPLETE RESTORATION AS THE BODY IS IN POOR CONDITION. ORIGINALLY THE CAR WAS OLD ENGLISH WHITE, AND HAS HAD A PAINT JOB IN THE PAST, MUCH BONDO WAS USED. THERE IS RUST DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS, BOTH QUARTERS, INNER WHEEL HOUSES, BODY SEAMS, AND INNER DOOR STRUCTURES. THE TRUNK FLOOR AND TUB STRUCTURE SEEM SOLID, FRAME IS MOSTLY SOLID WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE INNER FRAME RAIL UNDER THE DRIVER'S DOOR. WOOD FLOORS ARE INTACT AND SOLID. ALL GLASS IS THERE AND IN GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL STONE CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD., ALL WINDOW TRIM IS THE AND IN GOOD SHAPE. FRONT GRILL HAS SMALL DINGS. SEATS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, DASH IS FAIR, INSTRUMENT PANEL GOOD. AFTER I GOT IT HOME I VERIFIED THE ENGINE WAS NOT FROZEN AND TURNED EASILY. SO I CHANGED THE OIL, FILED THE POINTS, OILED THE CYLINDERS, THREW A BATTERY AND A CAN OF GAS IN THE TRUNK WITH AN IN-LINE FUEL PUMP, AND IT RUNS, AND RUNS WELL, WITH NO KNOCKS OR FUNNY NOISES, AND ONLY A LITTLE SMOKE INITIALLY WITH WENT AWAY. THEN I BLEED THE BRAKES AND CLUTCH AND THEY WORK AS WELL.
CAR WILL BE SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE ONLY. THIS VEHICLE NEVER HAD A TITLE
