The MG A at the time of inception was a breakthrough for Morris Garage in many ways. The TF cars were old technology, even well before the TF was produced. The A was a long-awaited design and a necessity to keep the company’s success flowing. When first introduced, it featured many firsts for the company. Today the MGA is considered one of Britain’s most revered sports cars, and affordable as well with many available in all different levels of condition and variants from 1955-1962. Many factory colors were available, some options too, and even performance models such as the Twin Cam were produced. But the roots are in the original 1500 cars that first gave way to growth that followed the MGA.

The example on offer here is a very early car, a true 1955 production car and in fact the 824th, MGA produced, which, in a run of thousands of cars, is a significant number. It was primarily a midwest car for the majority of its life having passed through a few owners over the years before being treated to a total restoration in the early 2000s while residing in Oklahoma.

It was finished in an original color combination of Red with a Tan interior and Tan top. It was a bare chassis restoration and as such is very tidy throughout, having covered only a few thousand miles since it was finished. More recently this MGA received a total servicing and going over at Ragtops and Roadsters of Perkasie, Pennsylvania and is totally up-to-date with a service receipt to accompany the sale as well as other documentation.

This MGA shows well and will be welcome at any club events or tours and is the ideal example in many ways. A prime opportunity for any collector or enthusiast to acquire an excellent early example of the MGA.
