Overview of 1960 MG MGA 1600 For Sale by Owner

Giant Killers. That’s what nippy British sports cars like this 1960 MG MGA are often referred to as. Unlike our typical American performance car with its large V8 and massive dimensions, British sports cars use small, frugal engines, dinky dimensions and light weight to punch massively above their class. This also makes them truly exciting to drive because remember, its always more fun to wring out a car to its very last drop of performance rather than be forced to merely toe the throttle for much of your driving time. With cars like the MGA, you can enjoy rorty revving engines and crisp cornering, all without exceeding the speed limit most of the time. If you’d like to get in on the classic British sports car action, this 3,850-mile car currently waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina, for a new owner.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in the iconic British Racing Green paint code, this 1960 MG MGA is a hardtop which grants it a slightly different vibe to the more common open-topped roadster variants that were also available. The car features Vredestein Sprint Classic tires wrapped around chrome knock-off wire wheels, replete with a matching spare wheel in the trunk. It’s chrome bumpers, chrome headlamp rings and chrome window surrounds add some further glitz to its persona. The interior of this 1960 MG MGA comes in red with two leather-upholstered seats. You’ve got classic Smiths gauges a four-spoke steering wheel and a manual transmission to operate. There’s a small cargo area behind the seats, and little else. If it gets too chilly, you can call upon the car’s heater and demister to keep you warm, but that depends on the engine itself being at operating temperature.

Engine

Powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, this 1960 MG MGA is a hoot to drive. The naturally aspirated, water-cooled unit uses twin SU H4 carburetors and makes an awesome sound as you wind it through the revs. It’s paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got front disc and rear drum brakes for a suitably engaging driving experience. What are you waiting for, then?

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.
