The Appeal
With its steel body, ash frame, and a very capable four-cylinder powerplant, the MGA represents the golden age of the Great British sports car. Elegant, stylish, and loaded with character, they're an absolute fixture of the classic car world - for excellent reason. Produced in two forms - the roadster and the scarce Coupe, which represented about a 10th of total production.
That should be enough to attract plenty of interest in this smashing example - but it's also been meticulously restored, with the work carried out by a former BMC Works Rally Department mechanic. A0jcp0IGssWXfB7b7YFQ8U2sKTxo8TaUuRclzpM9.jpg657.93 KB
