Vehicle Detail
Here is a 1958 MG MGA roadster that was left inside a garage here in California since 1972. This is a California black plates car that was originally black in color with red interior although the last owner changed the color into a teal for the exterior and black interior. I do have an old registration stub to prove this is a California car and the black plates belong to the car. [Although the original plates should have been yellow with black numbers/letters it was mandatory in 1963 every California car to be update to the new plates colors black/yellow numbers/letters]. This MGA comes very complete,except for the bumpers anf the grille, although it is in need of restoration. Luckly there is very little rust and the floor wood panels are very solid. The only rusted parts I have encountered are on the passenger rocker panel and on the very bottom of the passenger fender towards the rocker panel. The rest of the car is very solid. Since these cars are easy to restore compared to other European cars I wanted to turn this MGA into a Le Mans version of it. I have a clear title on the car and this MG can be inspected. My warehouse is located in the city of Gardena near the LAX Los Angeles international Airport. Please be atient, I will take plenty of pictures and I will post them on the auction. I will also have the scrolling picture banner and a few video clips. Although I was told that the car was running when parked I haven't tried to fire it up though the engine turns freely. This is a great candidate for e restoration project especially a LeMans replica or racing model. This MGA has wire wheels all around including the spare. I will update the auction with more info if needed and like I said pictures and video clips will be posted in the next few days. Email me if any questions or if you want to set up time and day to come inspect the car. I ship cars worlwide. Local inspection is very welcome. email me to set up an appointment or if you have any specific questions. Even though I do ship cars worldwide I cannot give a quote on shipping charges nationally or internationally. I can suggest a few shipping companies I have worked in the past although I am not affiliated with any of them.

If the winner needs a little more time I would grant that although If not picked up by the time requested I'd have to charge $25 per week storage fee the following week after the 10 days grace period. This is primarily to encourage the buyer to have the car picked up as soon as possible or I would end up with my entire lot packed with vehicles. I understand it sounds a bit harsh though I hope it makes a point.
