Few classic British sports cars blend beauty, usability, and mechanical simplicity quite like the MGA. With its timeless lines and lively driving dynamics, the MGA 1600 remains one of the most desirable and driveable post-war roadsters. Affordable to run, straightforward to maintain, and supported by a thriving network of specialists and parts suppliers, the MGA is a true enthusiast’s car.

This particular example is a 1600cc Roadster, first built in 1958, and the beneficiary of a sympathetic and thorough restoration carried out in 1997. The body was stripped back to bare metal and refinished in Old English White. A replacement engine was fitted in approximately 1988 and has covered just 4,608 miles since, with mileage documented by a supporting set of MoT certificates dating back to that period.

More recently, in the hands of its current owner; a respected British classic car specialist, the car has undergone careful recommissioning, within the last 12 months, enhanced with a new interior, fresh carpets, and a quality replacement soft top. The braking system has been fully overhauled and the wheels have been refinished in their correct original colour. Mechanically, the car benefits from a new fuel pump, spark plugs, batteries, and new thermostat and housing, all ensuring it runs and drives as well as it looks.
The MGA comes complete with a matching tonneau cover and correct-style side screens.

Attractive and stylish, this car will turn heads wherever it goes. With its careful restoration history, recent recommissioning, and charming presentation, it offers a compelling opportunity to own one of the most beloved British roadsters of its era. Offered with a UK V5C, a substantial folder of history, and supporting MOT certificates.
