1957 MGA, frame off restoration completely rebuilt mechanics with 1800cc motor

Description for MG MGA 1957

Stunning in dark navy blue!!!!This 1957 MGA convertible underwent an 18 month off the frame restoration. A file of receipts and a hard bound book accompany the sale documenting the process. The objective was to end up with a visually stunning car that was reliable and a blast to drive. Both objectives were acheived. an 1800cc motors sourced and completely rebuilt and the car runs extememly well. very strong and handles and brakes better than new. Brake upgrade was also performed. The car comes with an original 1500 cc motor and boxes of parts. Since the completion of the restoration the car has been driven less than 300 miles. The car has been sorted out. My loss is your gain. This quality of MGA changes hands privately and through auctions from the mid $40k's to mid $50k's. the reserve is set and less than the cost to duplicate and you get to enjoy the car immediately!This is a very good value for a car that will be tons of fun and only appreciate further in value. Last year in Scottsdale 2 MGA's . one similar and one not as nice sold for $46. 00 and $42. 00 respectively. I personally inspected those cars. Neither had the look of this color combination nor the detail of restoration. Please do not confuse this with an amateur restoration so commonly found on cars. Car comes with a hard bound book documenting the restoration.

The visual image is of the best car. in the right colors. /p> driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean. the car has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned. and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours. " Condition 2: #2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws. /p> but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint. chrome. glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup. no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent. " Condition 3: #3 cars could possess some. but not all of the issues of a #4 car. but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new. correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well. but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses. and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car. Condition 4: #4 cars are daily drivers. with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches. the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect. /p> and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing. but the wheels could differ from the originals. or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car. Page
