A charming and beautifully restored British roadster, this MGA Roadster is a classic sports car from the golden era of open-top motoring. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre inline-four fed by twin SU carburettors, delivering power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The car has undergone a full body-off restoration by marque specialist Abingdon Motors in Brisbane, with every part either reconditioned or replaced using remanufactured original components. It retains its original ‘numbers matching’ chassis and engine, and was originally built in Sydney. It has been with the seller for three years. The odometer indicates 6,168 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1959 This MGA Roadster is finished in the endearing hue of Billeroy Blue with a grey vinyl soft-top roof, over a grey leather-trimmed interior, featuring a body-coloured dashboard, black carpet, and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch cross-spoke wire wheels with two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Kenda Radial Kenetica tyres. Equipment includes a four-spoke ‘banjo-style’ steering wheel, Jaeger gauges, and door card storage compartments. The car will be accompanied by removable side windows, tools, a spare wheel, the owner's handbooks and a selection of documentation, including service invoices from its most recent maintenance. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car has been completely repainted during the restoration process, with a full body-off respray. There are now minor areas of orange peel visible in the paintwork on some panels. The interior has been re-trimmed to a high standard, and is reported to present in ‘as-new’ condition. The car’s last eSafety inspection was completed on 2 August 2023, with no faults or advisories recorded. This MGA’s most recent maintenance was carried out in September 2023 at an indicated 5,500 miles, carried out by MrBrakes – Bosch Car Service Centre Alfredton. The work included an engine oil and filter change and carburettor reconditioning. This MGA Roadster is a wonderfully presented example of the archetypal British sports car, benefiting from a comprehensive restoration by a respected specialist. With its original chassis and engine numbers retained, and every component refurbished or replaced, it is ready for weekend drives or to be shown at classic motoring events. A stylish and engaging roadster, it offers an authentic 1950s driving experience with reliable modern restoration quality.
