1959 MG MGA Coupe MK1 1600 - £17,995

On offer is this delightful MGA Coupe that has come from a local customer who has owned the car since 1999. Bought as a restoration project, the owner embarked upon the work in 2013 bringing it to us in 2020 for final checks, it has seen occasional use since.

A full photographic record of the restoration accompanies the car which shows the care and attention invested, resulting in the fine example we see here.

It now sits resplendent in its original Chariot Red with red trim and sports the disc wheels fitted when new, the overall impression being of a very well cared for example.

There is history with the car from 1999 and a list of work carried out and parts purchased accompanied by a wad of invoices.

Arguably prettier than the roadster, the swooping lines are most attractive with the view from every angle rewarding, and the Coupe body makes for a very practical tourer with better security and weather protection.

Driving well, this car would be a great starter classic with no vices and an authentic old car feel.

For sale on behalf of our customer so sold with no warranty given although it has been inspected and any issues addressed.

Available for viewing in our dry, well lit sales barn, by appointment please.

Restored to a high standard and with very good panel fit, shut lines and rigidity.

Runs and drives very well, carburettors rebuilt, brakes overhauled and a new exhaust fitted.

Beautiful paintwork with a high gloss and a lovely even finish, boot rack fitted and all of the chrome is excellent including the grille.

Retrimmed to a very high standard, the seats are comfortable and supportive, the carpets appear new and the difficult to fit headlining is excellent, the original steering wheel is still fitted.

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
