Description
The MGA was introduced in 1955 and provided a completely new design style compared to the previous models MG TD and MG TF. The exceptionally streamlined bodywork was so different that MG chose to call this model MGA, instead of a continuation of the T-series. The result was a stylish and sporty roadster with an elongated front and a low seating position. Many years have passed since then and we can still enjoy this wonderfully driving roadster. This certainly applies to this MGA, originally delivered in the Netherlands.
The car was originally delivered in the Netherlands as a CKD (Completely Knocked Down) car and then assembled. The original body colour is most likely Ash Green. During a thorough restoration, it was not only decided to change the colour to the stylish and sporty Orient Red. During this restoration, it was also decided to change the car to a MKII version. That is why this MGA now has a body of a MKII and the engine block has also been changed to a 1622 cc engine. The fact that the car is also equipped with disc brakes at the front indicates that this has been done very carefully.
The car has been maintained with great care and love all these years. This is not only evident from the car itself, but also from the various maintenance invoices that are present with the car. The beautiful colour Orient Red has a deep shine and is in good condition. The various chrome and trim parts are also still in good condition. And this certainly also applies to the particularly stylish chrome spoke rims with wing mirrors. The beautiful chrome luggage rack is not only very handy, but also gives the car extra style.
The interior is in particularly good condition. The black imitation leather seats have some light traces of patina, but are particularly comfortable and good. The dashboard is also still in particularly good condition and all instruments work properly. The original black 'banjo' steering wheel is not only beautiful to look at, but also feels comfortable in the hand. The black convertible top and side screens are also in good condition. There is also a tonneau present, which is also in good condition.
This MGA drives and shifts very well. The 1622 cc petrol engine runs quietly and smoothly and delivers enough power to drive comfortably. The car steers very nicely and the brakes also feel good and firm, partly thanks to the disc brakes at the front. The shifting is also very smooth and accurate. The MGA is already known as a particularly friendly classic driver's car, but that certainly applies to this unique MGA MKII!
