Description from the seller
Beautifully restored 1957 MGA Roadster offered, this 1500 Roadster is in very nice and neat condition, the restoration was carried out very neatly and professionally between 2000 and 2007 (older restoration).

Originating from the 2nd owner!
This color combination is fantastic! Tartan red paint and black leather interior and a beautifully color-matched dashboard with Jaeger clocks.
Exterior:
Very neat paintwork, solid underbody in very nice condition, restored (by previous private owner between 2000 and 2007, extensive photo report available!) the paintwork is in good condition. The engine bay looks good and is neatly color-matched. The boot is tight and solid and is neatly red with a black wheel cover. The doors, bonnet and tailgate have good alignment and latching. The MG also has the original Lucas headlights and turn signals, a stainless steel exhaust from front to back and new door rubbers. The soft top is neat and finished in black-red, the pop-out side windows are original and present. The chromed bumpers have been replaced and are in new condition, the grille and badges are also new original and perfect. The tailgate is equipped with a chromed luggage rack with chromed MG logo and letters and is repainted. An outstanding MGA Roadster!

The interior features an original new black carpet set, black door panels and the steering wheel is original and in very good condition.
Both inside and outside truly a very neat car, this MGA has been cared for with a lot of love.
There is an original 1959 MGA speaker in the dashboard.
Technical:
Equipped with the original 1498cc 4-cylinder engine with 72HP and 4-speed manual transmission. During the restoration the entire engine was rebuilt and refurbished, all peripheral parts were replaced and the engine functions well, with a good original non-synchronised gearbox. The brakes and suspension are in top condition. new shock absorbers and brake cylinders are fitted. The MGA starts and drives perfectly.
Details:
Originally delivered new in the USA, to the 1st owner in Texas and subsequently to the 2nd owner. In the early 1990s the MGA was imported to the Netherlands and in 1999 provided with Dutch license plates and registration.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
