Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MG A Roadster married a proven chassis design derived from its TD / TF predecessors (independent coil and wishbone front suspension and a 'live' rear axle) to the new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine first seen in the Magnette saloon. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory's successful EX182 prototype racers (fifth and sixth in class at that year's Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Featuring a four-speed manual gearbox and rack and pinion steering as standard, the '1500' Roadster combined agile handling with a reputed 97mph top speed. Continually updated, the MG A range was joined by Coupe and 'Twin Cam' variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively.

Finished in light blue with mid blue upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example was supplied new to North America. Extensively restored whilst over there, the Roadster was imported to Southern Ireland earlier this year. Riding on silver-painted steel wheels, this delightful MG is described by the vendor as being in "concours" condition.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has been imported into Eire from America (duty paid) and the vendor anticipates but does not guarantee that it will possess Eire registration documents / plates by the time of sale.
