For Sale: 1960 MG A in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

A staple piece of English sport car history. This little MG has a peppy little 4 cylinder, 4 speed manual trans, tonneau cover, and raw mechanical power to enjoy spirited driving. It was owned by the previous owner for the past 30 years! During that time, he did a full restoration on this car.

EXTERIOR: Just a sharp looking roadster. The body fit and finish is fantastic, and the bright red paint pops and is accented nicely with chrome trim and accessories. The front features sparkly fender fitted mirrors, stainless rings around the headlamps, a mirrored finish MG front grill, and chrome bumper with badge bar. The steel wheels are equipped with trim rings and fit perfectly to the car. For the chance you get caught in cold or rainy weather, this spunky little roadster comes with a tonneau cover, side windows, and soft top to fully enclose the cabin off.

INTERIOR: The cabin is simplistic yet intriguing. The dash reminds you of an airplane cockpit. The gauges are stylish, matching, and complete with tachometer. It's even equipped with the factory AM radio and hidden under the dash is an 8-track player and speakers. Comfortable black with red piping bucket seats make driving this pleasurable. Other options include adjustable choke and throttle, and map lighting for your passenger to guide you on your road trip. Our favorite feature must be the original style 4 speed shifter coming up from the floor and completed with an authentic MG wood shift knob.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood sits the correct 1600cc inline 4-cylinder engine that's paired with twin carbs giving this little roadster plenty of power for fun driving. Everything looks clean and proper.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid is painted nicely, as well as the jamb. The weather stripping has been replaced also. Overall nice and complete fully carpeted trunk with spare tire and original jack!

UNDERSIDE: Ground up restoration that's rust free. Everything was gone through. The independent front suspension looks to be in great shape. It features rack and pinion steering and front disc brakes. The rear leaf springs were replaced, and the rear drum brakes rebuilt. Braided fuel lines were installed, and the gas tank was cleaned, prepped, and painted black. The fuel tank was refurbished and painted a nice satin black. The correct exhaust is hung properly and has a newer coated Walker muffler. The engine is painted and looks clean. It's mated to its correct 4 speed manual transmission. The rear end has been prepped, painted, and refinished in satin black. The frame and floors were stripped, prepped, and undercoated in a black texture guard.

SERVICE: This vehicle went through our shop inspection and passed with flying colors.

This is the type of car you hop in and take for a drive to put a smile on your face every time. You don't need to be racing around to enjoy this one. You'll have the thrilling feeling of your youth back just by shifting through the gears enjoying the wind blowing around you.
