MG MGA Roadster MkI

This 1960 MGA left the factory as a MkI but now runs the larger 1622cc engine in place of the original 1588cc unit, fitted in 1974, and wears a MkII-style front grille. That makes it something of a hybrid, closer to later MkII specification than the car that was first sold.

It is finished in British Racing Green over black leather with green piping, with a black hood and newly fitted painted wire wheels on a recent hub conversion. The history file is not complete, but it traces owners back to 1972. It records a restoration in the early 1980s and a light restoration in 2024. The car has had five recorded keepers.

The odometer reads 55,749 miles, backed by MOT certificates going back to 1972, an owner's manual and old V5Cs. The MOT runs to June 2026 and the car is exempt from road tax. The dealer describes the paint as bright but not fresh, the panels as straight and the car as a usable, unrestored-feeling example.
