1958 MG MGA ROADSTER

OVERVIEW

This British-built 1958 MG MGA roadster originated in an overseas market and was imported to the United States later in life. It is powered by a 1,489cc inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission and comes equipped with a Moto-Lita steering wheel, wire wheels, a refurbished interior, and front disc brakes. Finished in Glacier Blue over a saddle vinyl interior, this customized MGA is now registered in the United States and offered by the selling dealer with a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The reportedly rust-free Glacier Blue exterior features a chrome grille with mesh inserts, fender-mounted mirrors, dual windscreens, racing number roundels, and a polished exhaust outlet.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome 15-inch wire wheels with knock-off center caps are wrapped in 195/65 tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The two-passenger interior is fitted with refurbished saddle vinyl seats and a matching wrap-around upholstery treatment for the dash and the door panels. Features include a Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, rack-and-pinion steering, a wooden shift knob, lap belts, and dash-mounted stopwatches.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 200-km/h speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and a fuel gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 952 kilometers, but the true kilometrage on the chassis is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 1,489cc inline-four is cooled via an aluminum radiator. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The independent suspension is equipped with coil springs. Stopping is performed by front disc and rear drum brakes.
