Overview of 1962 MG MGA MK II For Sale by Owner

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some cars have their own special place in history — and that’s exactly how we’d describe the 1960 MG MGA. The MGA is a simple formula. Featuring a longitudinally-mounted engine up front, a two-door convertible body style, and rear-wheel drive, it’s the kind of classic sportscar formula that many manufacturers often try to replicate. Few cars can capture the same charms of the original MGA, though. This is carefree motoring at its best, and it's no wonder that these dainty British roadsters are sought after today.
