1956 MGA barn find project For Sale

I am offering a very solid 1956 MGA barn find project that has been in storage for the past 30 years in the barn where the photos were taken. I have presented the car in the same condition as it has been stored without cleaning it and it has dust on it that needs to be cleaned before you can see the true potential of the car. As you can see the car is very original, straight forward, unmolested MGA and has most of the factory components including the original running gear with it. it has the original engine and gear box as well as the leather seats that are all intact but in need attention now. The original paint color is Tyrolite green with Black leather interior. The car is very solid and a good candidate for a complete quality restoration. I had plans to drive the car as is before I started the restoration but have run out of time because of my age. The car was started a few years back and the engine ran very well with good oil pressure. The trunk is also very solid and the car comes with the original top still in the car, a pair of side curtains and the title to the car needed for export. e mail if you have questions. This is the first year production model MGA so it is well worth the effort you put into the restoration of this 1956 MGA as it is bound to appreciate in value as time goes on since you cannot find any 1956 MGA's in this condition anymore.
