The Appeal
Introduced in 1955, the MG MGA was designed with cues from George Philips' TD Le Mans car. The result was seriously smart and uncluttered, with ponton styling and a fabulous set of curves that became synonymous with this period in the Great British sports car.
This particular sports convertible has been meticulously maintained and is in simply excellent order, with its rich red colour scheme both inside and out shining like a gem. Coupled with a clean, corrosion-free chassis, this may well be one of the finest we've seen at Car & Classic.
