Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1956 MG MGA 1500 roadster has a notable history, remaining with the same family for many years and undergoing a refurbishment. It features its original 1.5-liter engine, four-speed manual transmission, and wire wheels, though paint and chrome imperfections are noted.
It is being offered at no reserve, with the current owner having purchased it on BaT in early 2024, and it comes with refurbishment photos and service records. The car has been repainted red and features red vinyl upholstery, but the odometer has rolled over and true mileage is unknown.
Condition
6
The car underwent a refurbishment in 2005-2006, which included rust repair and bodywork. However, the description notes scratches in the paint and glass, pitting in the chrome, and that the tires have 2005 date codes. The steering wheel also exhibits wear. These indicate moderate wear on the exterior and interior, aligning with a 'Good' rating.
