1957 MG MGA | London

The MGA is the low, smooth-bodied British sports car that replaced the TF Midget in 1955. Its continuous curved wings and cockpit set down between them were a clear step away from the separate-wing look before it. This is a 1957 car with the 1500cc four-cylinder engine, and it seats two. This MGA is finished in red with a cream interior, and the chrome brightwork picks up both colours. The condition is excellent, and the dash keeps its period dials. With the top down, driver and passenger sit low and in clear view, which gives the open cockpit a place in every frame. The low silhouette leaves plenty of room for the setting, which suits 1950s-set film and TV, fashion and editorial shoots, and photography built around red and cream. At events it makes a strong centrepiece. It also gives a wedding or personal hire an open-top arrival with period charm. The car is based in London.
