Hi. My name is Kris, and this is my 1958 MGA 1500. I'm her 4rd owner, and I bought her in 2006 when I lived in Ohio, and she is now with me in Albuquerque, NM. Here's her quick history as I was told by her previous owner.
She was purchased in 1958 by an American airman who was stationed in England, and he ordered the left-side drive model with the intent to import her to the US when we returned state-side.
In the 1960's she was purchased by her 2nd owner, who drove her across the country, and eventually rebuilt her in late 60's, if I remember correctly. That's when he painted her this Cadillac Red color. In the 80's, she was put into the owner's barn and she sat there until the early 2000's when the 2nd owner's son decided to get her running again. Her body was in very good condition, but there was some rust in the usual locations. He got her driving, but he never felt comfortable driving such a small car, so he decided to sell it in 2006. That's when I bought her.
She's been running the entire time that I've owned her, and I've replaced some of the suspension, the entire braking system, repaired some rusted portions of the frame, replaced the battery tray, replaced the entire brake system, cut, installed new wood floorboards in the cockpit, replaced nearly all of the cooling system (including a new radiator and added a radiator shroud to makeit more efficient), and a number of other odds and ends. A new starter and battery-to-starter electrical cables have just been replaced.
The undercarriage and frame are in GREAT condition.
Here are a few of the parts that I'm including with her:
Here are the issues that know that she has:
Unfortunately, I'm getting ready for an international move, so I probably won't be able to get any of these issues fixed by the time that the she sells.
As you can see, she is a beautiful MGA and she's a lot of fun to work on and drive. I'm going to miss her, and I hope that you could provide a good home for her.
