Description
, specialist in sports and collectible vehicles in Lyon, offers for sale a 1959 MGA 1500 Cabriolet:
We are offering a 1959 MGA 1500 cabriolet, presented in British Racing Green, faithful to the era's British spirit. This colour highlights the low, taut lines of the model and pairs with a light grey leather interior. A British icon of the 1950s, the MGA marked a major turn in MG's history with its fluid, low, and decidedly sporty design.
It is powered by its 4-cylinder inline engine of 1, 489 cc, the emblematic block of the MGA 1500. This engine, fed by two SU carburettors, develops 72 horsepower in original specification, paired with a four-speed manual transmission that was restored in 2017.
The interior is well presented. The light grey leather seats are in good condition. The dashboard, painted to match the body colour, houses the original central instrumentation, with its circular gauges and controls typical of the late 1950s. The MG-badged three-spoke steering wheel and the overall controls contribute to a simple, functional ambience.
Our example, owned by the same owner for 9 years, has been serviced by specialists and made reliable with electronic ignition 123, fitted with a disc brake kit, equipped with a new fuel pump and a new tank, a new radiator, a new exhaust system, and replacement of wheel cylinders.
This MGA is registered on a French collector car registration (carte grise de collection).
Photo and video dossier available on request.
