Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 34 votes
1956 MGA Roadster in Alpine White with red upholstery.. A much admired car which I purchased a couple of decades ago but now I need the garage space, where the car has been stored, to work with my grandchildren! Its previous owner had a York garage fully rebuild the 1500cc original engine and since purchase, I have undertaken a complete engine and body-off rebuild plus new upholstery, soft-top and side screens.All subsequent body refitting and new upholstery was put in the safe hands of the excellent Bob West, MGA specialist (receipts available). During this process I took Bob's advice to let him completely rebuild from scratch on to a 1959 replacement chassis he had from from a dry State, which was dead straight and completely rust free - see the clean door lines.The work was completed some 20 years ago and the car has covered only about 5000 miles since pottering around country lanes in North Yorkshire and leading the procession for our local village Feast but mainly by 2 fault free trips to Le Mans and back. And when you drive through villages in that part of France all the locals come out and applaud you as you drive past - fabulous times and great memories!Although no longer required, I have nonetheless kept up with MoT tests, the most recent being just a month or so ago. I recall a local garage mechanic following a previous MoT saying - "it's a good 'un"! The original steel disc wheels are fitted with cross-ply tyres I managed to source a few years ago but they can squeal when cornering on hot road surfaces and probably need replacing with modern radials (more modern tyres, adjust rear brake and replace short piece of rubber hose being the three MoT advisories)A deposit will secure and reserve. Vehicle released following clearance of full payment - typically a few hours if using Faster Payments or several days if BACS or cheque.
