Is there a special section to advertise my MGA?

Dear MG - friend,
I am selling my 1959 MGA 1500 RHD (right hand drive).

I bought the car during my stay in South-Africa in 2008.

The previous owners, a retired car enthusiast and his son restored the car during 2 years to its original conditions.

It was a nut and bolt restoration. They sold the car to finance their new project a Jag XK150 which was in the middle of its restoration.

Seeing the job they did so far on the Jag, I realised that father and son did good jobs.

They told me the MGA shell was not to badly rusted which made it easy for an external panel beater to fix the metal and repaint the car.

Today, 5 years after the restoration, the car looks still stunning.

I drove +/- 8.000 km in South-Africa during 2008-2009. During that time little technical hiccups have been sorted by local specialists and additional upgrades have been done. In 2010 I moved back to Belgium and brought the MGA with me. It is now registered and driven in Belgium (import duties for the EU have been paid, no additional duties for the UK have to be paid).

Even if I invested a lot hours detailing the car further, it has now to go. I just don’t use it enough and a new project (looking for E-Type Series 1 FHC) needs the garage space...

Restoration Work

Full frame off restoration.

New wooden floor panels.
Original engine rebuilt, parts replaced where necessary.
New complete clutch assembly installed, flywheel resurfaced.

The car comes with the original steel wheels and SS wheel caps on new tyres.
Bumpers and grill are in excellent condition. New front lights for left hand traffic (UK) but can be exchanged for right hand traffic if required.

Please feel free to contact me for further information.

The car is sold EX Belgium for Euro 22.500,00 (UK 18700 pound)

Best Regards
