Just Released From 53 Years of Single Ownership! Well-Sorted Driver's Example!
This 1960 MG A 1600 Roadster is finished in Old English White over a Red interior with a Black folding convertible top and original AMCO accessory White Tonneau cover. Originally assembled in March 1960, this MG A was one of 12,253 Roadsters exported to the North American Market with the larger, more powerful 1588cc engine. IT'S ALIVE! acquired this MG A in the spring of 2023 from a local, long-term owner who maintained the A since December 1970! A non-running project when acquired, our in-house staff brought the MG back to life by cleaning the carburetors, servicing the ignition system, rebuilding the brakes with all new parts, and replacing the clutch hydraulics. The recipient of an older restoration, the MG A presents today as an honest, running driving example that with some cosmetic attention could be a real showstopper. This MG A 1600 is the ideal example to drive and enjoy as is, or have our experts address some of the cosmetics on your behalf. If you want to get behind the wheel of a timeless British roadster and ready to be the next caretaker of this classic, then give us a call at 314-710-6600 or send an email to Sales@ItsAliveAuto.com.
*Please note the car is registered as a 1961 model.
