Morning all.

Just wanted to show off my new purchase; a beautiful 1958 MGA coupe.

‘the old lady’ looks stunning in black with shiny new wire wheels and as an extra added bonus (?) thanks to a previous owner a webesto sunroof (circa 1978).

Will be off on many an MG / classic run this year and a good few shows but do plan on getting myself to a Mini run this year, has been far too long.

Matthew.

That is one very very nice motor, love MG's, restored a 1968 MGBGT years ago and that was Black with Chrome Bumpers and Wire wheels, that looked good to me but that MGA you have there is truly stunning :thumbs up:

Enjoy :thumbs up:

That is absolutely stunning!:cool::cool::cool::thumbs up:

I hope you have many happy miles in it.

One day, I'm gonna treat myself to a wee corker like that. But I'd need a garage to keep it in.

Thank you all for you admiring comments they are very much appreciated.

She’s only been out once since I got her (nearly three weeks ago) as the weather’s been so terrible, am keeping busy with tinkering, going over the breaking system, changing engine oil and filters, radiator coolant etc.

GCA3N – am sorry to say that the better half has that seat booked out (and the limited boot space too) for the next moth but she may be otherwise engaged in July !

Parkibob – do you still have the GT, would love to see pictures and hear some tales of break downs etc.

Andy - you'd most definitely need a garage, the old lady is currently in a rented garage space near my office in the city centre. That is until we move; other half wants more space, bedrooms and garden !!! all I need to be happy now is a garage !

Matthew, sadly the GT went to fund a wedding (bad move all round as the car would have outlasted the marriage for sure and we are talking MG's here lol) :frown:

Hope you have many hours of happy motoring in her, She's a beauty :cool:

You will if it ever stop raining or looking like it will...

But she's not too keen on city traffic; no synchromesh on first and with drums all round the locals are very scary drivers, out the city she's a dream...
