Are you the sort of person who wants a classic car that’s diminutive, spunky and can really show you a good time? If so, venturing into the quirky world of British Roadsters is a fine rabbit hole to disappear down. Cars like this 1962 MG MGA Mark II were staples of British sports car motoring in their heyday, and today, they continue to offer a driving experience that can really make you have a good time. Their simplicity and lightness means that they are devoid of digital distractions and myriad systems that seem to need software updates at the most inopportune times. Instead, they force you to use all your arms and legs and discover what true driving bliss really can be. Today’s example hails from Kansas and is fresh from a full restoration as reported by the current owner. The car has also received a larger engine, but the original 1.6-liter unit is included, in a crate.
Exterior and Interior
Let’s face it, this 1962 MG MGA Mark II looks gorgeous in its Chariot Red coat of paint, with its replaced black soft top, tonneau cover and whitewall tires on wire-styled wheels. Weighing around 2,000 pounds and being just 156 inches long, it’s a car that can easily be threaded down winding country lanes, in environments where today’s electrically-powered behemoths would find it difficult to venture. Of course, this diminutive nature also means that the two-seat interior is, to a word, snug. Since the car is just 58 inches long, this 1962 MG MGA Mark II is a pleasure best savored alone, or with a like-minded (and close) passenger. Thanks to Fat Mat insulation the refinement is better than stock, while the black leather seats with red seat piping offer a great mix of comfort and support. Gaze at the dashboard and you’ll see none of the digital screens and myriad complexities that modern cars are burdened with. Instead, there’s a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a manual gear shifter, three pedals and a bevy of proper analog gauges.
Engine
This 1962 MG MGA Mark II has got a 18GH 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that’s been bored 0.020” over. Fed by a Weber single downdraft carburetor, it’s a lively little thing, powering the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox. The car has got an upgraded aluminum radiator, as well as an alternator system, with the alternator placed within the generator housing to look authentic. The electrical system has also been upgraded to a modern negative ground type. We’re also informed that the car packs front disc brakes for better stopping power.
