1958 MGA 1500 Roadster

FOR SALE

1958 MGA 1500 Roadster

The MGA was recommended in the December 2013 issue of Automobile Magazine as a car to “BUY” as prices have been creeping higher but have yet to really sky rocket, making this a great car to purchase today and will most certainly be an excellent investment for tomorrow. I have set the reserve well below the NADA Retail Book Value and I will be selling this car for a fraction of what you would expect to pay at one of these big name auctions. Someone will be getting a very attractive deal at the conclusion of this auction.

NADA High Retail Book Value is $41,900 USD but this car will be offered for much less.

________________________________________________

If you are familiar with British roadsters you know they are in high demand, especially the MGA 1500 roadster, with its sweeping fenders, diminutive size, and open air two seat styling.

The MGA has been raced extensively in the U.S. since its introduction in 1955 and with considerable success. In Sports Car Club of America competition the MGA has won numerous regional and national championships. It has also been a favorite choice of those competing in vintage racing.

Prices for MGA’s have been moving upwards for the past several years following the lead of Jaguars and Austin Healey’s, however prices have yet to sky rocket leaving plenty of appreciation potential….. this is a car you can enjoy today, and at the same time, take advantage of it’s investment value.
