1955 MG MGA 1500


This is the oldest MGA I have ever seen in my past 40 years of collecting British roadsters. It was #273 to roll off the production line back in July 1955. She is rough but solid. All original, not butchered or modified other than we replaced the two 6 volt batteries with a 12 volt one. It is even still wired as positive ground.

Solid doorposts and floors. Surface rust and dents but nothing fatal. The frame and body were thoroughly undercoated back in 1993 when I first bought the car which has helped to preserve it. Definitely a restoration project car but well worth the effort. She was last roadworthy back in 1995 and has been stored in a friend's garage ever since. My friend Jerry had planned to buy the car from me and began stripping the paint down to the original brown primer. That's why it looks so rough. I also have a fiberglass hardtop with it and the original side curtains. It has a black interior with white piping that is in OK condition.

I plan to restore her someday but may be willing to trade her for something else interesting and a bit more ready for cruising. I'm always open to an interesting offer.
