1959 MG MGA

This handsome 1959 MG MGA is the quintessential British roadster. Born from a lineage of sports cars that dominated the twisting roads of the UK and the challenging circuits of early road racing, this MGA carries the torch of its iconic heritage. The bold red exterior, proudly wearing its patina, tells the tale of a life well-lived on the open road. The streamlined look, a result of the removed bumpers and upper door trim, echoes the no-nonsense approach of the British racing spirit. Chrome details, from the grill to the emblems and bezels, add a finishing touch of English refinement. The 15-inch wheels, wrapped in 165/80R15 tires, blend classic British style with modern performance. Settle into the black vinyl bucket seats, accented with dark red piping, and feel the connection to generations of British sports car enthusiasts. The minimalist interior, featuring a clean dash pad and clear Jaeger gauges, keeps the focus on the drive, just as the MGA's designers intended. Grab the 4-speed manual shifter and take control, while the removable center armrest offers a touch of comfort during long stints behind the wheel. The black carpet completes the interior, and while the black soft top shows its age, it is ready for the exhilaration of open-top motoring in the great British tradition. In 2018, the skilled technicians at Glen's MG in St. Pete breathed new life into this MGA's 1600cc 4-cylinder engine, a powerplant that traces its roots back to the early days of British motoring. Dual single barrel SU side-mount carbs, a staple of British sports cars, feed this engine, while a single exhaust allows it to sing its throaty song. The rebuilt engine pairs with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering an engaging driving experience that connects you to the car and the road. The drum brakes on all four corners provides confident stops.
