MG - MGA Coupè 1500 "NO RESERVE" - 1957

This first series MGA 150 0cc coupe is one of 198 produced for export and one of the very few delivered new in Italy! It was registered for the first time in Bergamo, and then registered with a Rome license plate. It remained for many years with an enthusiast who used it for historic competitions, until 2011, when it was no longer driven. The bodywork is in the original factory Old English White colour. This is an older restoration and has the typical marks and touch ups from vintage rally use, however it is presentable. A kit containing new chrome bumpers was bought but never installed. The interior was completely restored new a few years ago with an original English carpet kit, seats and door panels are in excellent condition. Mechanically the car has its original factory engine as per the plate (very rare) and has always been well maintained: a new radiator and brakes were serviced in 2015 and a petrol pump was just installed. The chassis is very solid and shows no signs of accidents, even the floor is solid with minimal and typical signs of normal use. The car can be driven on private land and has been driven with a road test number plate without showing any significant flaws. The technical inspection expired in 2011. The feeler gauge test showed no major accidents (as shown in photos). Being a 1957 car, it can be enrolled for the Mille Miglia and is registered as a vintage car on the vehicle registration certificate. Some videos of the car, engine and road driving are available. A high resolution photo gallery is also available and is part of this description on the seller’s website. Please ask Catawiki. We can arrange the transfer of ownership or export documents remotely. Affordable shipping to Italy, Europe and the rest of the world. You can also conveniently pick up the car on site, as it can stay at our storage facility for 15 days free of charge. We recommend viewing the vehicle before the end of the auction, even via a video call on your smartphone (WhatsApp, FaceTime). Please send a message to Catawiki for an appointment. The seller reserves the right to claim compensation if the buyer does not pay for the purchase, which shall automatically be deemed to have occurred with the winning bid and obliges the buyer to make the payment, as per the sales contract available on the seller’s website.
