For Sale: 1960 MG MGA in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

Maintained by an aircraft mechanic over his 40-year ownership, this 1960 MG MGA presents an authentic slice of British motoring in vibrant red. Low-slung and purposeful, the roadster features perfect proportions that defined a generation of sports cars. The gleaming front and rear chrome bumpers add brilliant contrast against the red finish, while the tan manual convertible top folds away for pure open-air enjoyment. Fender-mounted mirrors offer both style and visibility when attacking corners. The 15" chrome spoke wheels wrapped in 155/80R15 BF Goodrich Radial tires complete the classic silhouette, giving this MGA a planted, ready-for-action appearance that invites spirited drives on winding roads.

Saddle tan vinyl creates a rich, inviting cockpit atmosphere. The bucket seats maintain excellent condition and offer firm support for aggressive cornering. Red-painted dash panels match the exterior color scheme, housing authentic gauges that monitor all essential functions. For audio entertainment, a JVC AM/FM radio with CD player has been tastefully integrated without compromising the original aesthetic. The floor-mounted shifter falls naturally to hand, connecting driver to machine through direct mechanical inputs. Every control exists purely to enhance the driving experience - nothing superfluous, nothing unnecessary - just the essential elements for the road ahead.

A 1500cc (1489cc) inline-4 engine powers this British classic, with dual SU 1-barrel carburetors delivering excellent throttle response and acceleration. The 4-speed manual transmission gives complete control over the powerband, with mechanical linkage providing positive gear engagement. The clean engine bay showcases proper components including the standard radiator and belt-driven cooling fan. Manual drum brakes handle stopping duties, while the coil link front suspension works with leaf spring rear setup to deliver direct road feel. Manual steering completes the pure, analog driving equation that made these MGs legendary for their handling abilities.
