The MG A 1600 is a classic British sports car produced between 1959 and 1961 and represented a significant mechanical upgrade over the original 1500 model
Dating from 1960, this very smart example is finished in Old English White with a dark red leather interior, newish Burgundy hood, chrome wire wheels and a chrome luggage rack, a combination that suits the MG A’s clean, understated lines
Powered by the model’s proven 1, 588cc B-Series four-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox, the MG A offers straightforward mechanicals and balanced handling typical of the period
The car benefits from a body-off chassis restoration carried out around ten years ago, ensuring attention was given to both the structural and cosmetic elements at that time
Following the restoration, it has formed part of a private collection, where it has been preserved and maintained as a usable and presentable example
Offered from that collection today, this MG A presents an opportunity to acquire a neatly restored example of a popular 1960s British sports car ready for continued enjoyment
