This 1960 MG A 1600 began life in Chariot Red with 'disc wheels and a heater' as evidenced by its 'buff' logbook and Heritage Certificate
From the cars substantial history file, mostly 2010/ 2011 forwards, we can establish that the car was set up for club racing at some point
An engine failure at Oulton Park lead it to remaining unused for a few years before this conversion to its current spec began
It's now a really attractive 'fast-road' car finished in Indigo Blue, de-bumpered, with fibreglass front wings and sitting on silver Minilites
Mainly original MG A cockpit in blue-piped Ivory leather with a Moto-Lita wheel. Most of the spec is on the Seller Rating
Engine details - 1, 800cc B-Series completely overhauled including new bearings, rings, timing chain, oil pump, cam followers, 719 Kent fast-road cam, lightened flywheel, high-compression big-valve cylinder head (Oselli), tubular exhaust manifold, electronic ignition, large capacity rad with Kenlowe fan, oil cooler. Standard 1. 5" SUs with pancake filters
Well presented and great for regularity runs, club-level sprints and hill climbs, or just to enjoy as a rather cool example of Britain's prettiest ever sports car
