1960 MGA MK I 1600 Roadster. Old English White with Black leather upholstery and a black hood. UK-supplied, right-hand drive, Mk1 Roadster (GHN) first registered on 27/06/1960
Classically presented in Old English White with a chrome luggage rack
The MGA was initially fitted with a 72bhp 1,500cc engine, but in 1959 gained an extra 100cc which gave an extra 7bhp and increased the top speed to 101mph – just over the magic ton. The brakes were also upgraded and new exterior lights fitted at the front which incorporated amber turn flashers and the detachable side screens also gained sliding perspex windows.
It was to remain in production until 1962 when it was replaced by the softer and somewhat less sporting MGB, by which time 101,000 had been sold. A growing appreciation of its flowing lines and surprisingly modern driving characteristics have meant that MGAs have become extremely popular of late.
Subject to an older restoration she has stood the test of time and runs and drives just as she should with a substantial quantity of invoices listing parts and maintenance. The previous owner did spend a further £5,000 including a full respray and has had new carbs recently fitted.
