Vehicle Description
The MGA is long hailed as one of British Motor Corporation best
looking creations. With elegant curves that truly highlight this
classy, English roadster, it has cemented itself in the collector
car world as a must-have for driver enthusiasts! These MGAs feature
independent front wishbone suspension with coil springs that
provides a great handling automobile that is sure to be a pleasure
to drive. The Mark II was the final iteration of the MGA with the
1962 model which came with a new 1622cc engine with revised
combustion chamber, larger valves, and higher 8.9:1 compression.
They are also easily distinguishable by their horizontal, oval
taillights. Being the last year available, these cars remain a
desirable model among collectors today; this example is no
exception.
We are proud to offer this 1962 MGA MK II Roadster finished in
British Racing Green with Black leather interior and a Black
convertible top. This MGA is powered by its original 1622cc
4-cylinder engine (16GC-U-H-3876) with twin SU carburetors
producing 90 horsepower and mated to a 4-speed manual transmission.
Featuring Jaeger instrumentation, dual side fender mirrors, full
size cabin tonneau cover, front disc brakes, and 48-spoke chrome
wire spoke wheels wrapped in 155R15 Vredestein Sprint Classic
tires.
This MGA has 83,725 miles on the odometer and still has plenty of
life left thanks to the good care it received over the years. The
engine was fully rebuilt in 1982 and the rest of the car was
restored by 1986. This was all done by previous owners in
Pennsylvania and most recently added brand new tires in May of 2022
before selling the vehicle.
Once purchased by the Car Museum the steering rack boots were
replaced along with new lower control arm bushings, oil cooler
line, clutch slave cylinder, water pump, brake pads and engine
mounts. This Mark II has also received an oil change, transmission
flush, rear differential flush, and a brake flush assuring that
everything is in working condition and road ready for this smooth
handling MGA Roadster. Finishing it off is a brand new convertible
soft top installed in November 2022.
It will come with a matching chrome wire spoke spare with a
Michelin tire, jack & crank, Thor knock-off hammer, and side
curtains for any wet weather you may encounter. Also included is
restoration and service records back to 1982 along with the
original driver's handbook. Thank you for your interest and please

showroom to see this shining example yourself!
