1957 MGA Coupe Competition-Inspired Styling, Extensive Resto

Just Arrived at The Garage

1957 MGA Coupé

Dove Grey | Competition-Inspired Styling | Extensive Restoration | Original Wheels Included

Few MGAs have quite the presence of this striking 1957 MGA Coupé.

Originally built for export and first registered in the United Kingdom during 2018, this highly distinctive example has been extensively restored and finished in the attractive factory MG colour of Dove Grey.

Tastefully styled with a clear nod to the competition MGAs of the period, the car has been de-bumpered and de-chromed, with the brightwork refinished in an attractive satin silver finish. Together with its Minilite-style alloy wheels, the result is a purposeful, sporting appearance that sets it apart from a standard MGA whilst remaining unmistakably true to the model's character.

Importantly, the original steel wheels, complete with virtually new tyres, are included with the car, allowing a future owner to return it to a more traditional appearance should they wish.

The contrasting red interior is beautifully presented and provides a wonderful complement to the Dove Grey coachwork. Mechanically, the car is equally impressive, benefiting from rebuilt carburettors, a well-tuned engine and a lively, responsive driving experience that makes it a pleasure on today's roads.

Introduced in 1956, the MGA Coupé combined the sporting appeal of the Roadster with winding windows, lockable doors and improved weather protection, making it one of the most practical and usable British sports cars of its era.

Accompanying the car is an extensive history file containing restoration records, supporting documentation, the correct Driver's Handbook and Workshop Manual. It will also be supplied with a fresh MOT prior to sale.

Whether you're looking for an MGA that's ready to enjoy immediately or one that offers the flexibility of either competition-inspired styling or a return to standard specification, this is a particularly appealing example.
