Overview of 1962 MG MGA Roadster For Sale by Owner

The Sixties British Roadster is the perfect antidote to your daily driver. Compact, lightweight, and perky, these cars came to our shores, too. Hence, the discerning collector can enjoy this 1962 MG MGA Mark II Roadster which is the final year of this body style for this model, if you choose to purchase it from us. This car has undergone a full restoration and a rebuilt engine with a mere 3,300 miles on it since then. Hence, this car is as good as new and awaits its second life.

Exterior and Interior

The new red paint job on this 1962 MG MGA Mark II Roadster gleams in the sunshine, highlighting how compact this car really is. To put it into perspective, it's smaller than many subcompact crossovers on our roads. Park it within a typical North American parking space, and you'll be amazed at how much room there is all around the car. The car reportedly sports new tires and hubcaps, too, and comes with a manually-operated tan convertible top to provide some weather protection. However, the point of a British roadster isn't weather protection but open-topped driving nirvana. That's why the two-seat cabin of this 1960 MG MGA Mark II Roadster is sparse, with two leather seats, a steering wheel, a gear shifter, three pedals, and a full suite of gauges. Yes, there are headlights, turn signals, and everything else needed to make this car road legal, plus a heater, but little else. You'll really enjoy a comprehensive digital detox when you drive this car, as there isn't even a place to put down your mobile phone and forget about charging it on the go!

Engine

The tiny 1,600cc in-line 4-cylinder engine could deliver around 90hp when new. Thanks to its rebuild, we're sure you'll find most, if not all, of those horses, are still galloping with frenzy. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the car has received new brakes, a new throttle, new gaskets including the valve covers, a new timing chain, a new clutch, new wiring, a new carburetor kit, and new pipes. Then, there's a new long-reach radiator, a refreshed cooling system, a new battery, and a PCV tune-up. Finally, the engine has received an oil change to keep its lifeblood as clean as possible.

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.
