1955 MG A ROADSTER 1500 Numéro de série HDD4311019 Premier millésime Configuration élégante Carte grise US Certificat FFVE A l’aube des années 1950, le Morris Garage se voyait quelque peu distancé par ses concurrents, que ce soit en termes de technologie que de design. Pendant ce temps, les ventes de la MG T fondaient à vue d’œil. Il était donc urgent de renouveler la gamme et de trouver un nouveau fer de lance pour la marque à l’hexagone. C’est alors que Sydney Enever prit la tête des opérations de développement chez MG. Avec un coup d’œil dans le rétro, il prit conscience que la nouvelle MG devait ressembler au prototype UMG 400 qu’il conçut pour les 24 Heures du Mans 1951 et 1952 sur une base de MG TD. Effectivement, la carrosserie de cette auto de course était particulièrement propice à habiller un petit roadster britannique des années 1950. Ainsi, naquît en l’espace d’une dizaine de mois, la MG A. Certes, elle ne progressait que peu en matière de technologie par rapport à sa devancière déjà datée, mais son look de XK120 miniature lui permit un franc succès à travers le monde et notamment aux Etats-Unis. L’exemplaire que nous proposons à la vente fait d’ailleurs partie de ces nombreuses MG A à avoir été exportées aux Etats-Unis. Datée du premier millésime, elle est donc motorisée par le quatre cylindres culbuté de 1489 cm3, le tout étant freiné par quatre tambours. Restauré, ce sympathique roadster arbore une teinte noir brillant assortie à un intérieur en cuir beige. Si la peinture accuse quelques légers défauts, le châssis, la mécanique et l’intérieur présentent particulièrement bien. Prête à prendre la route, elle sera fournie avec ses papiers américains, ses documents d’importation ainsi que son certificat FFVE. Discrète mais élégante avec ses petites jantes tôles, cette MG A est le parfait roadster pour profiter, cheveux au vent, du printemps se préparant ! 144 MGA Serial number HDD4311019 First year of production Elegant combination of colors US title FFVE Certificate At the dawn of the 1950s, the Morris Garage was somewhat outdistanced by its competitors, both in terms of technology and design. Meanwhile, sales of the MGT were visibly melting. It was therefore urgent to renew the range and find a new spearhead for the brand. It was then that Sydney Enever took the lead in MG's development operations. With a glance into the retro, he realized that the new MG had to look like the prototype UMG 400 he designed for the 1951 and 1952 Le Mans 24 Hours on a basis of MG TD. Indeed, the body of this race car was particularly suitable to dress a small British roadster of the 1950s. Thus, was born in the space of ten months, the MG A. Certainly, it progressed a little in terms of technology compared to its predecessor already dated, but its look of XK120 miniature allowed him a great success around the world and in particular in the United States. The copy that we offer for sale is also part of these many MG A to have been exported to the United States. Dated from the first year of production, it is powered by the four cylinders tumbled 1489 cm3, all being braked by four drums. Restored, this friendly roadster sports wears a glossy black color with a beige leather interior. If the paint shows some slight defects, the chassis, the mechanics and the interior are particularly good. Ready to take the road, it will be provided with its American papers, its import documents and its FFVE certificate. Discreet but elegant with its small metal rims, this MG A is the perfect roadster to enjoy, hair in the wind, the preparing spring !
