In the Garage: 1959 MGA
THE CAR AND ITS OWNER
1959 MGA owned by Mitchell Landress
WHAT MAKES IT INTERESTING
With its sleek lines borrowed from LeMans race cars, the British MGA – sold from 1955 to 1962 -- was a radical departure from its predecessor, the TF.

“I also have the factory competition aluminum hard top and that alone is a very rare option and extremely difficult to find in today's market.” Landress’ car has the 1,500cc engine and a four-speed manual transmission.
