To replace the old TD and TF, Morris Garage introduced in 1955 a new roadster derived from the EX prototypes that had raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The discreet yet very elegant line is quite innovative for the time. For the rest, as is often the case with English roadsters, the mechanics and chassis rely on proven technical solutions; directly derived from the group's organ bank. The result is surprisingly sporty thanks to the car's 900 kg and aluminum components. The success will be widely confirmed and will make the MG A the best-selling sports car in the United States. Body / Exterior: The model proposed here is a 1958 MG A 1500 in its period "Signal Red" color. The body is still in good presentation condition despite some superficial defects: a few light paint chips on the driver's door edge and a corrected paint chip on the contour of the left rear wing and on the trunk. The chrome bumpers and their supports are perfectly positioned, we noted a small dent on the front bumper. The black vinyl hood is in good condition, we found a tear on the driver's side and also a tear on the passenger side. The 15'' chrome spoke wheels are in excellent condition. The 4 chrome knock-offs are in good condition. The 4 tires will be replaced with new ones before delivery. This specimen comes with its spare wheel (painted spoke wheel) and its instruments. Among the interesting Body / Exterior equipment and options that this specimen is equipped with, we noted: The 15'' chrome spoke wheels. Interior: The interior has maintained its strict period configuration and appears in good presentation condition. The black vinyl upholstery with "Red" piping is in good condition. We found a tear on the piping on the driver's side and a dent on the rear backrest. The matching black vinyl door panels are in good presentation condition. The body color dashboard "Signal Red" is in good condition despite some small scratches. The JAEGER onboard instrumentation is fully functional. Only the ventilation / heating block remains out of service. The original 4-spoke bakelite steering wheel is in good condition. The original bakelite gear knob shows a patina of use. The original gray carpets are in good condition. This specimen has a battery switch hidden in the cabin. Among the interesting interior equipment that this specimen is equipped with, we noted: The original 4-spoke bakelite steering wheel and the battery switch. Chassis: The lift confirms a healthy body, with no visible accident traces or apparent structural corrosion. The fundamentals: wooden floors, chassis rails, body bottom and wheel arches are in excellent condition. Usage reserve: as a principle, we cannot guarantee the perfection of the alignments beyond their good visual and functional state validated during the road test and the lift. During the dynamic test, we did not notice any abnormal parasitic noise at the level of the body or the rolling trains (ball joints, silent blocks...). The braking is balanced and aligned, showing an effectiveness in line with the standards of the time. The drums are fully functional and free of leakage traces.
