Description:

1957 MG MGA 1957 Roadster

A 2 year Frame off sebring style restoration completed in 2015. Every item is either new or refurbished to new standards. All parts where media blasted. The Frame is coated with POR15 and body undercoated with raptor tintable urethane.
I would rate the paint as 8 or 9 out of 10. A few touched up paint chips here and there and door sill area . AKA seat belts. The front fender welting could be better. I have new welting from a well known British restorer that is exact duplicate of original and much better then the well know vendors sales here in the states. The lucky buyer gets this and the front bumper braces if he or she wishes to add bumpers.
The motor is a MGB 1800 3 main engine and 3 syncro 4 speed transmission and sports a 391 differential gear for highway cruising. The motor was rebuilt by the previous owner. I verified by compression and leak down testing.
