Vehicle Description
"The First of a New Line" � That was the marketing approach for MG
as it rolled out its fresh MGA to the public in 1955. These cars
were vastly different from any MG prior featuring a wider chassis,
lower seating position, a more powerful "B-series" motor etc. it
also features independent suspension and rack and pinion steering.
The body was a much cleaner design sitting lower and wider with
beautiful consistent body lines and a teethy front grill. MGAs are
ideal collector cars. They're affordable, simple to work on, rugged
and attractive. Parts are readily available and moderately priced
which can be surprising given the exotic appearance.
We are pleased to offer this wonderfully done 1960 MGA Roadster.
This car went through a complete mechanical and cosmetic nut and
bolt restoration over a two year period and was completed in 2004.
Since, the car has been cared for, routinely service, and
thoroughly enjoyed by two owner enthusiasts. At the time of
restoration, the was completely disassembled, the block was bore
and honed to .020 over, and assembled with newly polished crank,
new pistons, valves, guides, rebuilt head etc. All mechanical
aspects of the car including transmission, brakes, suspension etc.
were fully restored and / or refurbished at that time. The car was
painted in its current livery, yellow over black interior with
parchment seating. After 13 years, the car still looks great in all
areas including paint, excellent chrome and bright-work, a highly
detailed engine compartment, and a very tidy interior. Highlights
include Wire wheels, dual SU carbs, Banjo style steering wheel,
Moss motors interior, Jaeger gauges, original data plate, wire
wheels, full size spare, excellent convertible soft top, full
tonneau, etc. The car has been serviced and looked after by the
best people in the business including: Little British Car Co. of
Farmington Hills, MI and internationally renown John Twist of
University Motors. As a result, today the car remains completely
turn key, of the button and ready for immediate enjoyment. The
restoration and service history back to 2003 is completely
documented with all parts and service receipts all organized
chronologically in a thick three ring binder. Recent notable
service includes complete lubrication of engine, chassis, and
suspension components, full brake service, new crank seal and
sleave, new hoses, new king pin seals, speedo cable, spring pads
and bushings, timing cover gasket, transmission seal, all new
fluids etc.
MGA's are wonderful cars to own and a spirited car to drive. Their
classic English styling remains timeless and is welcome in all
motoring circles. These cars remain solid motoring investments and
at this price, this MGA is a must consider.
