Model Overview:

The MG A stands out as arguably the most beautiful MG ever crafted, characterized by its graceful, sweeping lines that define the essence of true 50’s & 60’s sports cars. The MG A 1600 represents an era when sports cars were designed to deliver pure driving pleasure, capturing the imagination of enthusiasts with its elegant design and spirited performance.

 

 

Vehicle:

This specific car is a MATCHING NUMBERS MK1 variant retaining its original engine from new. Featuring an enlarged 1588cc engine and front disc brakes as standard, enhancing its daily driving performance. As evident in the photos, the car is in near immaculate condition, having undergone a comprehensive professional body and mechanical rebuild six to seven years ago, and it has been sparingly driven since.

Consider the expense of rebuilding another vehicle to this level and then compare it against the Auction Price Guide Estimate.

This car is poised to be effortlessly enjoyed with a turn of the key.
