staging: 1957 MG MGA Coupe 1500 For Sale

The Appeal

The MGA is rightfully heralded as being one of those keystones in British motoring. Streamlined and fearlessly modern in styling, this tidy, perky and easy-to-handle roadster locked in the sports car as a beautifully British art form, and soon made MG a true household name - particularly in the USA, where a burgeoning fascination with these perky little cars was beginning to blossom for the well-to-do.

This fine example was imported from Ohio to Poland in 2015, where it has since undergone a complete restoration. It's been very well looked after since, and is now ready and waiting to be taken on by the lucky new keeper. Accompanied by a fresh inspection and an impressive file of paperwork, it's sound, solid example that's ready for a new spell of ownership.
