Vehicle Description
This 1962 MGA 1600 is a rare Mark II coupe. Completely refurbished.
Work included refinishing the exterior in red, redoing the interior
with two-tone red and black leather upholstery, and overhauling the
mechanical and electrical systems. Paired with a four-speed manual
gearbox, the factory replacement 1,622cc B-series inline-four is
fitted with a Judson supercharger, and additional modifications
include a Marvel Mystery Oiler fitted to a Judson valve cover, an
aftermarket exhaust, and chrome wire wheels. This final-year
fixed-head MGA is now offered with a clean Texas title in the
seller's name. This MGA is reportedly one of 26 examples exported
to North America for the model year, and was repainted in red as
part of the refurbishment process. Exterior modifications include
rear dual exhaust tips, a chrome badge bar mounted to the front
bumper, and added badging including "Supercharged by Judson" logos
on the front fenders. Chrome-finished 15? wire wheels with
three-eared knock-offs are wrapped in 560-15 Royalton 3? whitewall
tires. Disc brakes are fitted up front with red-painted drums out
back. The interior features leather-upholstered seats with a custom
red and black color scheme that extends to the carpeting, door
panels, and dashboard. Black rubber MG floor mats are fitted in the
footwells. A black-rimmed banjo-style steering wheel fronts factory
instrumentation including a 7k-rpm tachometer and a 120-mph
speedometer. The five-digit odometer displays 25 miles, which is
said to reflect mileage accumulated since completion of the
refurbishment; true mileage is unknown. The 1,622cc B-series
inline-four is a factory replacement engine as denoted by a stamp
on the block. A Judson supercharger has been fitted along with a
Judson valve cover, a Marvel Mystery Oiler, and NGK ignition wires.
The fluids, lights, and gauges were checked in July 2020, at which
time a compression test yielded results of 175, 180, 175, and 180
psi in the four cylinders.
