Vehicle Detail
1956 MGA 1500 roadster. Beautiful British racing green with painted cream racing stripe. Excellent driver, great fun, reliable and frequently driven. Always gathers a crowd on Sunday mornings at Dunkin Donuts. Older restoration. Great paint, no rust, like new carpets, all instruments work with the exception of the odometer, heater works, demisters work. No sign of accident damage, frame is straight and the car drives really well. Gearbox is perfect: quiet and stays in all gears. Very cozy with the top up, with an excellent heater and demister she can be used well into the fall. Non-matching numbers. Ex racecar, has mounting points for removable roll bar. Mileage unknown. Seats show patina, had planned to replace them with MGA deluxe competition seats. A small bit of hanger rash on the left front fender. Not used in rain since restoration. This would be a perfect dual purpose vintage racer or starter VSCCA car. Bought a Lotus so it is time to find the MG a new home.
