1961 MG MGA 1600

Description

There are a few body styles out there that make you say "Wow!" from the moment they come into view, and this 1961 MGA is in that very select class. The year-correct Dove Gray paint was given a high-quality respray as part of a full frame-off multi-year restoration. The work was completed around 1993, but the presentation today reminds you that top quality will always last when given the proper respect. In fact, this is the kind of distinctly beautiful style that continues to be award-worthy. The sunlight loves to radiate off the glossy finish as it showcases what makes the MGA an icon. It's in the long flowing fenders that help create the low-cut doorline, the aggressive rear fenders that kick up for the wheels, and the unmistakably smooth European trunk (boot) design. There's shining brightwork everywhere from the curvy chrome bumpers to the quintessentially British rear luggage rack. Plus, you'll love the true sports car details, like the side wind wings and wire wheels with true knock-off hubs. And while the exterior is elegant, the red leather interior can't help but deliver some sports car vividness. So as you look through the full package - everywhere from the hallmark grille to the strong powerhouse - you'll discover exactly why this is an enduring enthusiast's icon.

The MGA is truly a fun and elemental enthusiast car. But when you really get it right, it also looks like pure rolling art. The Dove Gray paint is timelessly elegant as it gives off notes of white and blue. The brakes were painted red on this car so that you got a hint of the matching interior color. Wire wheels, knock-off hubs, a trunk luggage rack, and Jaeger gauges are all part of that true classic sports car tradition. And because it's a car you'll want to drive, we appreciate the later/larger 1600cc powerplant gives this a little extra kick of performance. So what you have is a beautiful machine that has a desirable and strong powerhouse. That makes for one of the most alluring packages around, especially at a price like this. So don't miss out, call today!
