This 1957 MGA is well known in MGA circles. It was repatriated in the 1980s, given a body-off restoration and then prepared for rallying, which it did for about ten years.
A second body restoration followed in 2010. The car was repainted black and trimmed in burgundy, with bucket-style seats and a louvred bonnet. It changed hands at that point and was little used, though well maintained, until 2014.
It then went to Oselli for upgrades. These included the firm's 1950cc Stage 2 high-torque engine, a five-speed gearbox, a performance exhaust, new carburettors and cooling system improvements. An alternator and a negative-earth charging system were also fitted. The page cites plenty of service history but gives no mileage.
