1957 MG MGA Coupe
The MGA marked a shift in the MG brand’s vehicle building - gone were the pre-war style pontoon fenders and thin bicycle-like wheels and in their place, a gorgeous, flowing body that could have come out of one of Italy’s top styling houses. Produced between 1955 and 1962, the MGA was primarily designed as an open top roadster, but, a coupe variant was produced - albeit in smaller numbers.
This 1957 MG MGA Coupe is finished in a shade of paint from the Ford catalog called Laser Red, and benefits from long-term single family ownership, staying under the care of the same family since 1977. This car has been restored twice under current ownership - once immediately after purchase in 1978, and a second time in 1999 - which still shows very nicely. The car sits on a set of 72-spoke chrome wire wheels, which are wrapped in radial tires, making for a very classic English sports car look.
The interior is wrapped in beautiful saddle leather upholstery on the seats and door cards. In front of the driver sits a simple dashboard, with primary gauges viewed through a large four-spoke steering wheel on an adjustable column. Although this style of car is notoriously sparsely equipped, this MGA was ordered with a heater for the cabin which is a welcome addition on a cool morning drive to your favorite car show.
Powering this MGA is a 1.5-liter inline 4 cylinder engine, with a pair of SU carburetors on the side. Part of the long used BMC “B-Series” engine family, this powerplant is known for being quite stout, and having great parts support even in the United States. From the factory, power was rated at 72hp, which is then run through a 4-speed manual gearbox for maximum driving enjoyment. Under the car, the MGA features independent front suspension with coil springs, and a live axle at the rear and to slow down, the car uses Dunlop hydraulic drum brakes. In contrast to many sports cars of the era, the MGA utilizes rack and pinion steering as opposed to the more conventional steering box of the era, making for livelier and more predictable steering with fewer dead spots in the wheel.
MG was a company that built their cars with a focus on driving enjoyment as opposed to straight line speed or magazine testing numbers. They may not be the fastest, but it’s hard to have much more fun behind the wheel, as you row through the gears in this lightweight sports coupe. This MGA is a unique opportunity to acquire a car with significant ownership provenance that is ready to be driven and enjoyed today!
