Overview of 1960 MG MGA For Sale by Owner

You may have heard of MG or Morris Garages. This British automaker started life in 1924, founded by a man named Cecil Kimber. Kimber was many things, including a race car driver, innovator, businessman and engineer. He famously said that “a sports car should look fast even when standing still”. No wonder he created some of the best driving machines, and even after his demise in 1945, the company stayed true to his philosophy for many decades thereafter. That’s why a British sports car from the 1950s or 1960s is considered to offer a fantastic driving experience, showcasing that you don’t need a lot of power or a massive engine to have fun. This 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe is a fine example of that, with its 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission. The car is for sale from Miami, and comes with 85,619 miles to its name.

Exterior and Interior

This 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe wears a loud red coat of paint which ensures that it stands out, because let us tell you, the car is small. It looks pocket-sized, even when parked next to a subcompact crossover! Dimensions-wise, the car comes in at 156 inches long, 58 inches wide and just 50 inches tall! That means that even though it has wire-spoked wheels of just 15 inches in diameter, they look correctly matched to the car’s overall size. You’ve also got a rear luggage rack because British sports cars of this type weren’t known for roomy trunks, and what little space there was on offer was often occupied by the spare wheel. The car also includes driving lights which weren’t common at the time. The interior of this 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe comes with black leather upholstered seating for two adults. There’s a banjo-style steering wheel, a full gauge pack. You’ve got lap belts for safety, and there’s also a heater and windshield defroster for cold day drives.

Engine

The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine of this 1960 MG MGA Mark 1 Coupe is quite fun to drive, actually. With its twin SU H4 side-draft carburetors and Cannon air intake, it pulls cleanly and makes all the right noises as well. A 4-speed manual transmission sends drive to the rear wheels for that signature sports car experience.
