Fitted Seat Belts.Originally Constructed under License ( CKD ) in South Africa this Original Right Hand Drive MGA was restored and imported into the UK in 2016 when it found a home with a UK collector. In 2018 the MGA was Part Exchanged with ourselves against another Classic Car. The Car had been nicely restored and formed the base for a client who purchased and commissioned a further £18,000 spend to create him a tasteful, modern driving classic MGA.
Ivor Searle provided a fresh MG B 1860 5 Bearing Crank Engine prepared to Stage 2 Specification and painted in period maroon at our request. Vitesse were selected to supply one of their Mazda MX5 5 Speed Gearbox Conversion Kits which simply transforms the driving experience. The Front Brakes were changed to Disc Brakes and a Servo was added along with a Bias System to balance the front and rear braking. Fresh Springs and Dampers were added along with a New Set of Chrome Wire Wheels shod with New Period Michelin XZX Tyres. The Interior Carpets were replaced with Wilton Wool items and a New Mohair Hood and Tonneau Cover were added along with a Period looking Modern Radio & a Genuine Motalita Steering Wheel - The end result was an MGA which simply outperformed our expectation and is a total joy to drive.During the 5 years since completion the car has been regularly serviced by ourselves and having now completed nearly 1,000 miles it can be considered Snagged - however it has lost none of its sparkle and presents totally Showroom Fresh.
MOT & Tax Exempt - But freshly serviced and Current MOT runs to July 2024 with no advisories.We understand modifying classics can be a divisive topic but if the thought of a Classic looking 50's MGA which drives and performs as well as it looks, appeals then this will be perfect addition to any collection.
