1959 MG-MGA Twin Cam Roadster

1959 MG MGA TWIN-CAM Additional Info:

This twin cam was restored in the 90s by the owner, the engine was professionally rebuilt at that time. The original color was and is glacier blue with grey interior. The car was driven very little after restoration, just around the neighborhood I'm told. The engine runs very nicely and has high compression pistons. It runs cool and has great oil pressure and plenty of power. The compressions are 170 across all cylinders. The top is functional and old, the side curtains are included. I bought it several months ago to fiddle with here's the work I've done.Replaced the dual engine gauge with an overhauled original unit. Replaced the fuel sending unit. Shimmed the steering rack to the frame due to stiff steering. Reconnected a wire so the brake lights work. Adjusted the parking brake. Changed the oil. I've driven it a hundred miles or so and everything functions nicely. The gearbox syncros are weak so if you like to down shift you need to double clutch it going down to second. Upshifts are fine. The paint is 5 of 10 there is a dent on the right rear wing and the bonnet color doesn't exactly match the rest of the car. Its a driver grade twin cam you can hop in and enjoy today.
