The Appeal
In 1951, Syd Enever - MG Stylist and engineer - created a beautiful streamlined body for George Phillips on the 24 Hour Le Mans. It was quite a looker, and following the car's exposure, the general public clamoured for a piece of this newly streamlined sports car. How couldn't you?
MG responded with the sleekly-designed MGA, boasting racing-style aerodynamics and spirited performance that made it one of the most desirable British roadsters of its day - and saw particular success in the USA, where the majority were purchased.
This particular example has been fully restored to a high standard, with a professional bare metal respray and a new red leather interior. The chassis and engine have matching numbers, and the car comes with a Heritage certificate. It has been fitted with power steering, electronic ignition, a solid state fuel pump, an electric fan, and an oil cooler.Screenshot 2024-02-16 at 09.31.15.png6.49 MB
