The 58 MGA coupe I had was terrible on cold mornings , absolutely would not start . I replaced the pull starter with a Ford solenoid and a push button for a 53 Plymouth I got from Sears and it would start in any weather after that.
Or better yet a Jaguar xk 150 roadster . Mg was cool but nothing close to the true British sports car Jaguar. Qucker better handling n overall much more satisfying driving experience 😊
Not everyone has a Jaguar budget to work with. Dollar for dollar the MGA still represents a pretty good value (even with the recent rise in prices) with a pretty satisfying driving experience in its own right at a cost that more people can afford.
Yes,really!😁 There’s acceptable oil loss, and then there’s this. Usually when a customer tells me they have an oil leak, I just say “yeah, of course you do..unless it’s bad enough there’s no use trying to do much about it “ 😂
That is one beautiful car!
Outstanding video !
Glad you liked it!
Always an outstanding video and presentation.
I would reolace the oil pressure hose also. Just to be safe. I have had both go bad at the same time.
I was looking at that hose and thinking the same thing
My first car was a 58 MGA coupe, 2nd car was a 65 MGB roadster. I miss them both.
My first car was a 1965 MGB. Nearly 55 years and 250,000 miles later, I still have it!
15 years ago it was joined by a 1962 MGA Mk II

If you want something really rare, you want an MGA Twin-Cam Coupe.
