This assembly for this MGA was completed on April 4th of 1957 and dispatched to the United States the very next day. The early ownership history is unknown; what is known is that it left the factory originally finished in a color scheme similar to the one it wears today. In 2003, the car was disassembled for a frame-off restoration that reportedly renewed the mechanical and cosmetic components of the car to their exacting standards. The engine, transmission, carburetors, brakes and suspension were rebuilt and the body blasted to bare metal and repainted in a two-stage process of polyurethane 5-star ChromaBase and clear-coat paint layers.
In 2011, the car was brought to Pebble Beach and offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction. It was estimated to sell for $40,000 - $50,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $56,100 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2011
