About this car

This MGA 1500 is a two-owner, home-market car first registered through MG London on 8 April 1959. It still carries its original number, WXA 812, which is unusual for a car of this age. The page gives the year as 1958, so the build date and registration date appear to differ.

The second owner bought it in October 2010 intending to restore it fully, but the project was not finished. The car is described as substantially complete and is offered as a restoration project. Factory-fitted items include disc wheels, a heater, an adjustable steering wheel and the sought-after factory hardtop.

It comes with a current V5 and a Heritage Certificate confirming its provenance and originality. It is right-hand drive with a manual gearbox, and viewing is by appointment.
