MG A Coupe (Project Car) (1960) For sale from Classic Showcase, in California, United States

This MG is a wonderful candidate to restore, as it is an original Southern California car, with 2 documented owners, the most recent of which has owned since the 1970s. The Coupe was garage-kept, and frequently maintained as the owner - a Hughes Aircraft employee - used it as a commuter car to and from work. It features a strong 1800cc engine, along with rack and pinion steering, independent suspension, and a nicely preserved interior. This MGA presents MG enthusiasts and collectors with a great opportunity to perform a restoration of their choosing to an already fine core-car.

History:

The MGA began production in 1955. The styling and mechanics were different from previous MG models. The public had been given hints of its new design during the 1951 Le-Mans 24 hour endurance race. The car was driven by George Phillips and was actually a TD Midget with body modifications. The styling of the car was undeniably elegant. Its aerodynamic design and two-seat open-body was stylish and sporty.
