MG MGA 1600 Coupe

This 1959 MGA 1600 Coupe is a show-standard car with unusually low use for its age. Built at Abingdon to North American specification, it came back to the UK in the early 1990s needing a full restoration, and has covered fewer than 9,000 miles since.

The rebuild was a body-off, nut-and-bolt job by MGA specialist Bob West between 1993 and 1998. The car is finished in Dark Blue over cream leather, with seats modelled on those of the Le Mans MGA SRX 210, plus a Halda Speedpilot and Hanhart stopwatches. It won Car of the Show at its first outing, the Footman James show at Manchester G-MEX, and has since appeared at the Cheshire Concours d'Esprit.

It has had two owners since the restoration and is right-hand drive. The history file includes restoration photographs and invoices, MOT certificates, a Heritage Certificate and the V5C. A £3,050 service and inspection by Malton Coachworks in April 2026 included new front discs and pads, rear hubs, brake shoes and cylinders, a coolant pump and a carburettor reset. The car is MOT and road tax exempt.
