Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
This well-restored example has to be considered as one of the best MGA's currently for sale.
A perfect symbol of British post-war graft, the MGA was far more than a successful export drive. The MGA, which has a motorsports heritage, was developed from the 1950s Le Mans MG TDs. Completely restyled in an appealing and aerodynamic body shell, it was fitted with a new range of B-Series engines and enhanced by disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and independent front suspension. Proving to be a perky performer with an agile driving experience, the MGA's reputation was later enhanced by the upgraded 1.6-litre twin cam engines and improved comfort. Technically simple, yet effective, the MGA is well served by clubs and specialists and attracts a lively social scene and a superb parts availability.
This is a genuine home-market 1960 MK1 1600, coming to market from ~6 year ownership, finished in "Chariot Red", with an impressive bespoke leather interior. A straight-out-of-the-box example with the benefit of a ~£32,000 restoration, that has only seen ~3,000 miles since then. It has also seen several improvements in recent years including the installation of a 5-speed gearbox. It will be sold with its original ‘Buff’ style log book, a folder full of invoices back to the late 80’s, photos of the restoration and two keys.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Jack the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
