MG A 1500 Roadster 1957.

- In completely original condition.
- Unique colour scheme.
- The same owner for more than 20 years.

The MG A is one of MG's first new post-war sports cars. In 1955, the MG A was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show as a replacement for the pre-war MG TF Midget. A total of 101,081 MGAs were produced between 1955 and 1962, of which only 5869 were for the British domestic market. This makes it the lowest selling British sports car in the UK market in terms of percentage.

The design of the MGA dates back to 1951 when MG designer Syd Enever created a streamlined body  for George Philips' MG TD to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The problem with the TD was the driver's high seating position. Indeed, the narrow chassis of the TF did not allow for a deeper seat. A new chassis was designed with the floor attached to the bottom of the frame, allowing for a more aerodynamic design. The idea was initially rejected by Leonard Lord, CEO of BMC, who had struck a deal to build the new Austin-Healeys. When sales of traditional MG models fell sharply, it was decided to produce the MG A.
The name was chosen because this car was to introduce a new line of sports cars.

The life of this MG A first started in America in 1957. After its adventures in the US, it  was imported into the Netherlands in 1998. It was immediately taken to the Hofman dealership in Leek upon arrival. Since then, the previous owner has maintained / kept it well and kept it largely original. 

This MG is a good example of a beautiful, sporty and technically well-maintained / kept MG A. It has been largely kept original. The "Dove Grey" paint / lacquer lends it a classic look together with the wonderful black faux leather interior. The chrome wired wheels complete this beautiful classic car. This car also has side windows and a tonneau cover. The chrome work is still of great  quality. The 1.5 ltr 4 cylinder still runs beautifully and makes the convertible a pleasure on the road. 

Comes with a valuation report in which the MG A has been assessed very well. In addition, there are several photos of its history in the Netherlands. 

“MG A, A Class Of It’s Own.”

Given its age, the MG naturally has acquired signs of wear and age over the years, please see the photos. The paintwork also has signs of age.


You are more than welcome to come and view the car in our showroom and take it for a test drive before you place a bid.

This vehicle can be viewed and picked up in Oldemarkt, the Netherlands.

We can also arrange export documents and transport for you. A 2-week insurance is also possible!
