Description
1956 MG A Chassis HDR4320953 Carte Grise Collection Mythical roadster Matching Colors Sold without technical inspection Certificate British Motors Industry Heritage Trust 20 000 / 25 000€ M.G, Morris Garage, belongs to that small but prestigious category of British brands specializing in sport roadsters. In 1946, the T-series MGs that had made the brand famous before the war were put back into production. The "new" model was christened TC, a simple evolution of the 1939 model. A little obsolete, with its rigid front axle, the firm with the octagon reacted by making technical and aesthetic evolutions over the years. But the real novelty came in 1955, when two MGs with special bodywork, designated EX 182, were seen racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A few months later, these cars were shown in customer version at the Frankfurt Motor Show, presented as the new MG A. With its elegant, well-proportioned lines, this is a racing-type barquette totally in tune with the times, and offered at a very attractive price. It was an immediate and huge success. As with Austin Healey, Jaguar and Triumph, the USA absorbed the majority of MGAs built. This figure was a record at the time, as the MGA was the first sports car to exceed the symbolic 100,000 mark. The reliability and sturdiness of its powertrain, despite a non-synchronized premiere, greatly contributed to its excellent image. Very sporty, the interior is spartan, but offers a very complete dashboard with enough room for two. It's a true roadster, with no windows in the doors. The soft top disappears completely. Our example, a 1956 roadster, was produced on October 2, 1956 for the United States. It was painted in old english white, with a black interior. Originally well equipped, it featured an adjustable steering column and windscreen washer. Our beautiful MGA was acquired by its owners in Pennsylvania in 2020. Imported and registered in France, it is in good cosmetic condition. As for the mechanics, having seen little use recently, an overhaul will be in order. ERRATUM: the removed starter must be reinstalled in the car. 1956 MG A Chassis HDR4320953 Carte Grise Collection Mythical roadster Matching Colors Certificate British Motors Industry Heritage Trust 20 000 / 25 000€ M.G, Morris Garage, belongs to that small but prestigious category of British marques specialising in sports roadsters.
