Recently Restored 1959 Mga, Rebuilt 1500 With Soft Top And Tonneau on 2040-cars
Kearneysville, West Virginia, United States
VERY clean 1959 MGA 1500 complete with soft top, tonneau and
side curtains…
This is my wife’s car and she just does not drive it and so it must go to a new home. This car has had a LOT of money spent on it during the past two years. I have tried to list some of the improvements made as part of this restoration and have doubtless missed many parts. Needless to say the new owner will have little to do to the car….simply drive and enjoy it. Feel free to ask questions. Body Exhaust Powertain The gearbox was similarly completely rebuilt with new synchros and front and rear seals and new rear mount. New clutch/release bearing. Thanks to the new synchros the upshifts/downshifts are now smooth, unlike 90% of MGAs on the road. MANY new clutch items, slave cylinder rebuilt, new hoses. Interior New trunk carpets. Suspension Fuel system Brakes External Brand new top quality wire wheels and tubes, they are spotless and alone
account for a $1600 purchase. I will include an oak tool used to remove/install
the wheels which are splined and have no lug nuts. The spinners are brand new too! The front grille was replaced just this winter and the car has MAYBE been driven 200 miles since then so it is basically brand new and with an original vintage AA sign. New rear lights and bulbs.
In short this car has been gone through and had MANY MANY parts replaced, all of which have been replaced in the last two years. The car starts easily, has 60PSI oil pressure, drives well and turns heads wherever it goes. The only issue is an inoperative heater but as the car is only used in warmer weather this hasn’t been an issue for my wife. The car has been maintained in an original condition, no aftermarket parts have been fitted and the appearance is totally stock. I have seen some MGAs where the owner took it upon themselves to install a wooden dash or some other ‘improvement’, none of that here. The result, a desirable, original car with nice chrome, straight body and solid powertrain. Clear West Virginia title and NEVER driven in the rain. |
