The 1957 MGA Roadster on offer is one of exceptional quality with many great attributes to its history and restoration. Sold new in 1957 into Pennsylvania, it has always remained in its state of origin with two caring owners until the mid 1990s, when it was acquired by its third and current owner. Upon his acquisition the car showed just over 86,000 miles and was a tired original and rust-free example.

It was then that a two year total nut-and-bolt restoration took place by marque specialists in nearby Harrisburg PA. The restoration entailed the car being completely disassembled, media blasted, and the chassis and body completely redone and mated once more. The entire drive line is rebuilt from top to bottom and a new beige leather interior was installed. Finished in the gorgeous and original color combination of Robins Egg Blue over Beige, with all weather gear and in excellent condition. Completed in 1997, the car has been enjoyed for 2,928 miles, and has been serviced regularly and kept in climate controlled storage. It has always been a prized possession and kept in show worthy condition. The restoration is of the highest quality and standards, it shows as very correct and impressive.

All things considered this is an impressive show quality MGA that is ready to enjoy as an easy MG Concours contender, or tour ready.
