1959 MGA Twin Cam - Truly Exquisite Example For Sale
This MGA Twin Cam was built on the 6th – 10th March 1959 and despatched as a North American specification car with heater, centre lock disc wheels and four wheel Dunlop disc brakes on the 11th March. The car left the factory in Old English White with Red trim and spent most of its life in the USA. In 2017, the MGA was purchased in California by the most recent owner, one of our customers who resides between Leicestershire and California.
The MGA was then subject of a full nut and bolt restoration to Concours d'Elegance standards by Auto Vintagery in La Jolla, California. Based in San Diego, the restorer of this car is one of the most qualified, experienced restorers of Twin Cam MGA's in the World. This was his 52nd Twin Cam rebuild, and at the point of completion claimed to be the best to date. A true perfectionist, this is without doubt the best we have ever seen. The MG was rebuilt to RHD specification and all components were rebuilt to as new condition. The engine, gearbox, rear axle and braking system were completely rebuilt and various ancillaries replaced, for performance enhancement the twin SU carbs were replaced with side draught Webers giving the car an extra 15/ 20 BHP. A transistorised ignition was fitted, the Dunlop wheels were widened to give an improved road holding so the car drives better than when it left the factory. The upholstery and deluxe seats were completely re-trimmed in Aston Martin Autumn Leaf leather and vinyl (as per deluxe spec) and the car painted in a 1959 Mercedes Benz Navy by a Ferrari Bodyshop used by the Twin Cam restoration experts. Whilst not an MG colour, the colour is period, and this special bespoke colour combination ensures this is quite simply the most stunning MGA we have ever seen. All the chrome work was sent to Mexico to achieve the highest of standards and the engineering throughout the car is magnificent. This is a car rebuilt to the highest standards and could well be the very best looking example in the World.
On completion of the rebuild in 2018 it was on display at the La Jolla Concours D'Elegance prior to being imported into the UK by its one owner since rebuild. The MGA has since covered limited mileage and arrives with us in show standard condition. The MGA is first class in every respect, driving superbly, in as new mechanical condition and having had a top class restoration with true precision, the chassis, body, paintwork, chrome, weather equipment, wheels, tyres, upholstery and engine bay are in outstanding condition. 250 XVC is not the typical twin cam MGA available, this is a car that can be in the absolute best company of any collection, but importantly it would make a wonderful touring car, ideal for events, summer jaunts and some serious long-distance touring. An incredible car and somewhat unrepeatable without contemplating spending over £100, 000 buying a project or even well used twin cam and putting it into this condition and specification.
