1959 MGA ROADSTER BARN FIND STORED SINCE 1986. REMOVED FROM STORAGE APRIL 2011.THE MILEAGE LISTED MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER DO NOT WORK. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS RESTORED LONG AGO PROBABLY SOMETIME IN THE 1970s BUT I HAVE NO HISTORY. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE AN ACCURATE DISCRIPTION AND WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. YOU ARE WELCOME TO LOOK AT IT OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE LOOK AT IT. BE ADVISED THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. I HAVE A CLEAR TN TITLE IN MY NAME. FACTORY RED CAR, AS INDICATED BY THE K IN THE VIN. I THINK IT IS THE ORIGIONAL MOTOR 15GB U H 50975 I VACUUMED THE ACORNS AND NESTS OUT AND CLEANED THE CAR, CLEANED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CARBS, CHANGED THE OIL, FILTER, SPARKING PLUGS AND WIRES, MOUNTED A SINGLE 12 VOLT BATTERY IN THE TRUNK AND STARTED IT. IT RAN GREAT. I REPLACED ALL 6 WHEEL CYLINDERS AND FRONT BRAKE HOSES WITH NEW ONES AND REBUILT THE MASTER CYL. INSTALED A NEW CLUTCH SLAVE AND PIPE AND PUT ON 4 USED TIRES WITH NEW TUBES. THE CAR NOW RUNS AND DRIVES. IT STARTS RIGHT UP, HAS GOOD OIL PREASURE AND THE CLUTCH, GEARBOX AND DIFFERENTIAL ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD. THE STEERING IS A LITTLE STIFF BUT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THE PICTURES MAKE THE PAINT AND CHROME LOOK BETTER THAN IT IS. IT IS NICKED CHIPPED AND BLISTERED, LOOKS FINE GOING DOWN THE ROAD BUT IT NEEDS TO BE PAINTED. I CALL IT A 20/20 CAR, LOOKS GOOD AT 20 MPH FROM 20 FEET. SEE THE CLOSE UP PICTURES OF THE WORST AREAS. THERE ARE SOME OF THE NORMAL RUST ISSUES. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE DID SOME REPAIR WORK ON IT IN THE 70s. THERE IS RUST ON THE FRAME RAILS THAT WAS REPAIRED LONG AGO BY WELDING STEEL PLATES OVER THE BAD SPOTS. THE REPAIR IS ON BOTH OUTER FRAME RAILS UNDER THE DOORS. IT IS NOT PRETTY BUT LOOKS TO BE STRONG AND SAFE. I DID MY BEST TO SHOW IT IN THE PICTURES, NO PROMISES THOUGH. THE REST OF THE FRAME LOOKS GOOD EXCEPT BY THE BATTERY MOUNTS. THIS CAR NEEDS A TOTAL RESTORATION BUT YOU COULD JUST DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN RUNNING AROUND THE ROADS HERE. PLEASE COME AND LOOK AT IT AND TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THERE IS A NICE ROOF FRAME BUT NO COVER. THE DASH CUSHION AND THE COIL MOUNT ARE THE ONLY PARTS I KNOW ARE MISSING. THERE IS NO SPARE WHEEL,JACK OR TOOLS.On Jul-23-11 at 06:07:20 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE I SELL TO THE UNITED STATES ONLY!!!
