About this car

The MGA was the car that took MG into the modern era, replacing the T-series with a sleek, aerodynamic body and the 1,500cc B-series engine. This 1957 1500 Roadster is an early car, built in the first full year of production, and has an unusual back story.

It was found in the United States more than 25 years ago as a right-hand-drive car and exported back to the UK. It was returned to the road not long after arriving home and has stayed with the same owner since.

The dealer describes it as in generally sound, usable condition. No mileage or registration is given on the page.
