1960 MG MGA 1600

The MGA, unveiled in 1955, allowed the marque to shift into a new "era" in terms of design and appeal to a younger clientele seeking sports-minded roadsters.

It was the car of renewal: "First of a new life" was the slogan of the time.

Our example was reimported from Texas some fifteen years ago and completely restored in its Old English White finish. It displays 53, 174 miles on the odometer, is equipped with black leather trim adorned with white piping and a tasteful matt wood dashboard.

The modern, curvaceous bodywork of this MGA is owed to designer Syd Enever. Its 1950s aesthetic clearly marks its belonging to a bygone era of motoring and exudes incredible charm.

In 1960, the 1600 retains the iconic MGA design:

Rounded and aerodynamic lines

Classic grille with softened angles; Simple and sporty dashboard

The MGA 1600 Coupé is a highly appealing and capable motor that enjoyed a fine career.

Fixed roof, a refined cabin and side windows in glass (rather than the side-screens of the convertible).

On the road, more incisive and sporty handling; a certain peace of mind at the wheel – a genuine asset.

A lovely car for pleasant drives.
