MG MGA Bonnet - Original MGA Bonnet from 1959 - Rust Free & Painted In Iris Blue.

This is an original manufacturer bonnet panel taken off my own car (1959 1600cc roadster). The two very last photos shows this bonnet fitted on my car. It’s been replaced following fitment of a louvred bonnet.

CONDITION

The condition is excellent.

My car was restored approximately 35 years ago and this involved new paint on all panels. The bonnet was painted at the same time, the paint you see in the photos is therefore approximately 35 year old but remains very good indeed.

There are no dents and/or scratches, so if your car is Iris Blue or you’re painting your car Iris Blue then there is nothing to do, having said that you will need all fixings. You can obviously paint it in a different colour which would need minimal preparation.

The support frame is excellent with no damage, there’s some very very light surface rust on the frame edges which can be seen if you expand the photos. The staining visible on the underside is oil and Waxoil.

My price reflects its originality and its fantastic condition.

If you can get one, replacement new non-original bonnets will cost around £1,500.00.

Shabby second hand original examples will cost around £250.00 ish with restoration costs on top.

Whilst I try my very best to highlight all negative aspects of an item it remains possible that some small aspect may have been missed. Please remember that unless I list something as MINT CONDITION it will be a used and/or antique item which may have the marks commensurate with age and use…..for example: the odd mark here and there, slight fading etc.
