Highlights

The Appeal


The MGA is rightfully heralded as being one of those keystones in British motoring. Streamlined and fearlessly modern in styling, this tidy, perky and easy-to-handle roadster locked in the sports car as a beautifully British art form, and soon made MG a true household name - particularly in the USA, where a burgeoning fascination with these perky little cars  was beginning to blossom for the well-to-do.

This fine example was imported from Ohio to Poland in 2015, where it has since undergone a complete restoration. It's been very well looked after since, and is now ready and waiting to be taken on by the lucky new keeper. Accompanied by a fresh inspection and an impressive file of paperwork, it's sound, solid example that's ready for a new spell of ownership.
