MG or Morris Garages is one of the most iconic British automakers in history. Today, the brand is under Chinese ownership and primarily makes SUVs and sedans, with some electric mobility options too. But if you look at its storied history, MG was well-known for making some of the most fun-to-drive British sports cars. What’s so great about British sports cars? You see, they are the very opposite to what we Americans consider sporting. These are tiny cars, smaller than your average subcompact, with low-displacement engines that merrily hum away. However, these flyweights are anything but slow; they can drive circles around larger, lumbering V8 machines. The MGA model came in 1955 and ran until 1962. Over 100,000 were produced, majority of which were exported. Today’s 1960 MG MGA 1600 is one of those examples, and has received a fair bit of replacement parts to keep it as fresh as possible. Now, the car waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina for a new owner. The current owner includes the refurbishment records and photos with the sale.
Exterior and Interior
One look at this 1960 MG MGA 1600 and you know it’s a special car. Check out its black paint job and 15-inch chrome wire wheels. You’ll also notice that this is a coupe rather than a convertible, which is great for all-weather enjoyment. The car’s bumpers and grille are also covered in chrome, and the whole thing is just 156 inches long and 58 inches wide. Now that’s diminutive! The interior of this 1960 MG MGA 1600 features two red leather-upholstered seats and a red-trimmed dashboard. It’s a place where driving enjoyment takes precedence, with no unnecessary fripperies or digital distractions to disturb the atmosphere of purity.
Engine
This 1960 MG MGA 1600 enjoys a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, powering the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The car comes with front disc brakes and rear drums for excellent stopping power. Refurbishment parts include a D9 camshaft and bearings, adjustable camshaft sprocket, a Jaguar-sourced timing-chain tensioner, a camshaft tachometer drive gear, replacement rocker shaft assemblies and pushrods, 0.010” main and rod bearings, and a custom coolant-block-off sleeve thermostat. Also replaced are the cylinder head and manifold hardware, wiring harness, voltage regulator, starter motor, and more. So, this car is just waiting to be driven in enjoyment.
