1959 MG A 'Roadster'
RHD UK supplied example

Registration: 341 DUP
Chassis: HDK13/ 50634
Odometer: 65, 000
Transmission: Manual
MOT: Exempt

Originally a Coupe but beautifully converted to a Roadster
Over £2, 200 spent on maintenance in 2022
Original specification steel wings
Desirable knock-off wire wheels
Matching set of Vredestein tyres
Original registration number

We are delighted to offer this lovely little MGA Mk1 in Old English White with black leather interior. It was first registered to Mr S. J. Robinson of Darlington on 10th June 1959 and since then it has had only 5 further owners. It started life as a Coupe but at some point it was converted to a Roadster. The conversion has been done extremely nicely suggesting it was undertaken professionally. The bodywork and paint present well with very good chrome. Unlike many MGAs, it retains original specification steel wings. It sits on knock-off wire wheels shod with matching (and expensive) Vredestein tyres. A wire spare is also present. It comes complete with hood, frame and a full tonneau. A pretty boot-mounted luggage rack completes the look. The interior is mostly original with the correct banjo steering wheel and a delightful BMC radio which would have been a period option. The seats are beautifully patinated but the passenger seat would benefit from some minor repair.

The engine number matches the V5, however, the vendor is of the understanding from a previous owner that it has been upgraded to a 1622cc B series engine as fitted to the Mk2, though there is no evidence of this in the history file. It has also been upgraded with a Serck oil cooler. It starts on the button and drives very well. The current owner has had the car for almost 14 years and has not scrimped on maintenance. There is a comprehensive bundle of invoices coving this period totalling over £5, 000. Last year the owner set about an extensive mechanical overhaul which included replacement of the entire braking system including the master cylinder, replacement of the front shocks, front coil springs, trunnion bushes and lower arm bushes, adjusting the tappets, rebuilding the carbs and replacing the fuel lines.

Present with the car are the V5C, a number of old MOTs, Haynes and Autobooks Workshop Manuals and a lovely 1963 MGA Sunday Times Motor Manual written by Piet Olyslager.
