About this car
The MGA replaced the ageing T-series in 1955 and sold largely to the American market. This 1960 1600 Mk1 roadster is a typical example: it spent its first 45 years in the United States before returning to the UK in 2005.
A restoration followed in 2006, covering a rebuilt engine converted to run on unleaded, a rebuilt gearbox and a rust-free chassis. It is finished in Chariot Red and comes with a full hood and weather equipment.
The car has since been kept by enthusiast owners, and a history file accompanies it. The dealer's listing shows it as sold.
