1958 MG MGA
Specifications
Description
High in Style, High in Spirit, this was the first of a new line.
If you're not bowled over by the looks – and you almost certainly will be – then the driving experience should be enough to convince you of the MGA's pedigree. Even in lower-powered 1500 form, the MGA is a perky performer.
The MGA was a new chapter in MG history. It was designed, engineered and built in the tradition that has made its predecessors the favourite of true world sports-cars the world over. It was the smartest, safest, fastest MG ever engineered and to find one in such beautiful condition sixty years on, is an opportunity not to be missed for the serious collector and true enthusiast alike.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Manufactured by The MG Car Company Ltd Abingdon-on-Thames, England, this is Car #: HDK 2346850
- It was fully restored around 2015 with most parts imported from Moss Europe Ltd
- The bodywork is still in very good order today and so is the paintwork.
- Interior is leather and in beautiful order.
- The 1500cc motor had work done to it in 2016 by Paramount Engineering in Silverdale.
- Four speed manual transmission.
- All instruments are original and function well.
- Car is pretty much perfect - it runs and drives exceptionally well
- We think of it as a Stunning Car, that no doubt has had endless $$$ spent on it. The harsh reality is that it would take more than $100K to restore a car in this condition today, making this car very good value for money.
- What it does exceedingly well for a car of this vintage is ride and handle with real aplomb, which makes it a classic that you really can use every day, even for the longest of journeys. A combination of independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering provide accurate control, and even with a live rear axle ride comfort is more than acceptable. There isn’t much body roll either which makes tackling a twisty B-road an enjoyable experience, while the drum brakes are more than powerful enough to inspire confidence.
- Comes complete with hard top and a pretty much new cloth soft top (in beige).
- Plenty of receipts and service history available.
All we can add is that while the MGA might appear simple in design, there are enough pitfalls to make a rash purchase unwise.
That shouldn’t put you off this fine British classic – it just means that you need to take a little care and preferably engage the services of a reputable specialist to ensure you buy the right car. Our view of this car is that it is one of the nicer ones in New Zealand and that if you get a good example like this one, you’ll have one of the finest classic sports cars out there.
This car will be sold WOF'd and registered if sold in New Zealand.
TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
