Highlights:
– 1500cc, 4-cylinder petrol engine

– Brown interior
– Leather-covered dashboard
The 1959 MG MGA Coupe 1500 is an iconic British sports car from the 1950s, developed as a successor to the MG TF and intended to give MG a more modern and streamlined image. This model is equipped with the popular 1500cc four-cylinder engine, coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission, resulting in a pure and mechanical driving experience. The MGA was known for its low seating position, excellent handling, and timeless design, and became one of the most important MG models of that period. This car has visible signs of wear and has been sitting idle for an extended period, requiring technical attention before it can be driven. This makes it an interesting starting point for the enthusiast looking for an honest project with character and history.
The exterior boasts a classic silhouette with a dull paint finish, revealing some rust in places, as well as on parts of the chrome. The original steel wheels and subtle details emphasize the car’s authentic character. Inside, we find a warm, brown interior that contrasts beautifully with the exterior. The leather-covered dashboard and wooden sports steering wheel give the interior a warm, classic feel that perfectly complements the MGA’s character. Here too, signs of wear are visible, consistent with the car’s age, adding to its original charm and patina.
