Previously sold at the St. Louis Car Museum is a wonderfully kept 1958 MG MGA that features a beautiful restoration and has stayed with the same owner for the past 24 years! This classic MG displays a splendid color combination of Black over Red Leather and is very well appointed with accessories to include aluminum side curtains, tonneau cover, fog lamp, seat belts, and custom padded arm rest! Wonderful running and driving example!

The MGA is long hailed as one of British Motor Corporation best looking creations. Modeled for debut in 1955, it appeared with elegant curves that truly highlight an all new classy, English roadster. British Motor Company had long held onto its full-fendered, pre-war characteristics well after most car manufactures had abandoned them for sleeker lines and aerodynamics. The MGA in all respects was a beautifully designed English sports car that retained all the underlying performance spirit of the T-Series it would replace, but had proven on the track. It has cemented itself in the collector car world as a must-have for driver enthusiasts!

We are delighted to have represented the sale of this remarkable 1958 MGA in factory correct Black with Red Leather interior! This example was seen an exhaustive mechanical restoration by a passionate owner in the late 1990's. With everything mechanically restored, it is fair to say this beautiful MGA far exceeded the quality of most when completed, and today showcases as a well preserved driver enjoyed just 2,535 miles with the same owner for 24 years! Options include its fully rebuilt, original 15GB code 1498cc engine and twin SU H4 carburetors, 4-speed manual transmission, 15” wheels Vredstein 155SR Sprint Classics tires, a single battery conversion, Jaeger instrumentation, heater/defrost, telescoping steering column, banjo style steering wheel, fog light, Blaupunkt AM/FM pushbutton radio, black vinyl convertible soft top, aluminum side curtains with storage bag hidden nicely behind the seat, a tonneau cover, seatbelts, and rubber floor mats!

The restoration began with a splendid, rust free specimen that received a full engine overhaul and all mechanicals renewed. As time went by, the same owner since 1996 more recently decided to properly restore the interior with soft red leather, the addition of a console armrest, new vinyl top, new rear curtain to stow the aluminum side windows, new tonneau cover, and door panels! Just last year new Vredstein tires were installed, a new radiator, new chrome hubcaps & trim rings, and master brake cylinder were fitted. In July 2020 having arrived here at the St. Louis Car Museum, the fuel pump was rebuilt, brake drums were turned, a new windshield installed, a new polished stainless steel exhaust system fitted, and well as general maintenance to include engine oil change, new rear U-joint, turn signal relay & flasher unit, brake pressure switch, and heater blower motor with repaired switch.

Even with the older paint finish, we cannot stress enough the general quality this car possesses, the mechanical soundness, and road ready nature it showcases! It will come with two sets of keys, all spare tire changing equipment, engine crank, and spare drive belt. The unique and distinctive sound from the exhaust tip will notify all MG enthusiasts you are driving something very special!
