Attractive English white livery on burgundy leather
Restored car in very good condition
Contrôle Technique is valid until 24/11/2025
Recent work on the engine and gearbox
A plus
The MGA was a revelation. After years of reworking its stylish but still very classic pre-war models, MG offered the world a stylish and aerodynamic sports car that was completely different from anything else on the market.
It remains one of the most beautiful cars to emerge from the post-war sports car boom. The MGA evolved through several versions, the 1600 from May 1959 inheriting a slightly larger engine and increased power while retaining the delicate aesthetics of the early cars.
This most charming example from 1960 shows just how beautiful these cars can be. Tastefully finished in English white with matching burgundy trim, it has been restored to a high standard and has benefited from recent engine work.
A Contrôle Technique valid until 24/11/2025 further enhances the feeling of a pampered car in excellent condition. It's ready to be used and enjoyed.
