This 1957 MG MGA is the quintessential fun British roadster that comes in a great color combo and is nicely documented. It's the kind of classic that's ideal when looking for one classic that you can collect, drive, and proudly park on a show field.

There are a few body styles out there that make you say "Wow!" from the moment they come into view, and the MGA is in that very select class. The correct Glacier Blue paint was given a high quality, and there was a large overall investment in the restoration. That's how you get such a glossy presentation on such well-done sheet metal. So the sunlight loves to radiate off the body as it showcases what makes the MGA an icon. It's in the long flowing fenders that help create the low-cut doorline, the aggressive rear fenders that kick up for the wheels, and the unmistakably smooth European trunk (boot) design. There's shining brightwork everywhere from the curvy chrome bumpers to the waterfall grille. Plus, wire wheels with knock-off hubs were an option from the factory, and it just seems like a must-have to complete the iconic appearance.

The British have always excelled at color combinations, and this interior proves it. The black is a tasteful but distinct contrast to the exterior blue and dash. Plus, the blue piping on the seats is a masterstroke of coordination with the gray body beading. So you have supple leather upholstery, newer carpeting, and interesting details, like the classic heater that's there for display. This has the best of classic motoring with a banjo-style sports steering wheel, clear British Jaeger gauges, and the crisp action of the gearstick. It's true purist motoring that will have you wanting to go for a drive every sunny day. And if you do ever get caught in the rain, the folding roof and side curtains are much more substantial than previous modes to keep you dry for the drive home. And for those sporting days, you have a full racing tonneau. It all fits in the extra tidy trunk.

The engine bay has a show-ready style that comes for a proper investment. The bold red block looks great against the exterior blue, and everyone loves the detailed style of the twin SU carbs. And not only will this tidy look get plenty of attention, but it also makes it easy to see the body tag and matching motor tag. The 1500cc B-series motor is a robust powerplant. This was a popular motor in Europe, and parts are still easy to find and relatively inexpensive. And when a car is maintained to look this good, it also is kept correctly to be a strong runner. The undercarriage photos prove there was a proper investment over every inch of this car during its restoration. It also makes for a car you can confidently enjoy. And the four-speed manual gearbox combines with the legendary nimble steering to really let you feel why these are legendary back road roadsters.

This is a true driver's MGA, but like any good Brit, it also comes with pedigree. There is a certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust documenting this car's early build distinct color as well as other documentation. Beautiful, tasteful, and a superior experience behind the wheel to even its siblings, this MGA is an amazing classic offered at a price that will have it driving out of our showroom quickly.

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.

SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
