1961 MG MGA 1600 Roadster
Overview:
Finished in fashionable green colorway this is a stunning example of an old classic that holds its weight in modern times. The top has been completely re-done by our head upholstery specialist in shop and looks phenomenal. The seats have also been re-done and let us just say it shows. Finished in a sleek black and white colorway you couldn’t expect anything better. As of right now it is missing external door handles but are being installed soon. The carpet is all new and dash functions have been replaced. It drives like a dream and looks good doing it.
The first MG Roadster to not have archaic running boards. Well balanced and incredibly nimble and great long-distance drivers. These are as beautiful to look at as they are a pleasure to pilot. They are solid as a brick of gold in the marketplace and an excellent hedge against investment. Do not overlook this affordable, enjoyable sleeper.
History:
The MGA Mark II was introduced in 1961 and was the last of the line being superseded in 1963 by the MGB. The MGA Mark II was fitted with a 1,622cc bored out version of the 1,588cc engine. This engine had other improvements including larger valves and re-designed combustion chambers. As a result of these upgrades the engine power was raised to 90bhp and in-line with the road car’s primary use for high-speed country touring the rear axle ratio was changed to 4.1 to reduce engine revs at speed and improve fuel consumption.
The main visual change for the Mark II was the inset front grille and the use of tail lamps from the trendy Morris Mini.
Top speed of the Mark II was 105mph with a standing to 60mph time of 12.8 seconds. These figures mean that the Mark II could achieve about the same level of performance as the low compression Twin Cam.
