Vehicle Description

With its fire-red finish, shiny chrome and the near-new whitewall tyres, this 1960 MG A makes a dashing image! The classic British roadster is 55 years old and has recently been imported from California. It has an unwarranted mileage of 74,100 mls on the clock.
This MG comes in an optically very good condition, including a paintjob of a quality superior to that of most American re-sprayings. A slight peeling on the boot lid underneath the luggage rack is visible, otherwise the car is virtually free of notable rust or damaging. The interior is just as presentable, with door panels and leatherette seats displaying only slight traces of use. A Becker Europa radio is fitted to the dashboard, which also features a rev counter, thermometer and fuel gauge.
This MG is powered by a 1.6 litre 4-cylinder engine which provides 66 kW (90 hp) and is teamed up with a manual five-speed gearbox. The engine compartment looks just as well-kept as the rest of the car. The car comes with German registration documents, valid technical approval until 04/2017 as well as historic plates. The original owner’s manual is included.
An elegant roadster for enjoyable weekend cruising – and a worthwhile investment to top it off, as the recent Classic Data appraisal agrees, evaluating this MG in condition 2 at € 31,000.


The MG A was designed by Sidney Enever as early as 1951. After failing to obtain the go-ahead by the BMC chairman, the project got shelved, only to be brought back four years later when sales of the somewhat outdated T series were dropping. With its stunning looks, it quickly became the most successful British sports car of its time, with just over 100,000 cars made.

Engine-wise, the original 1489 cc was replaced with a 1588 cc in 1959 and then again in 1961 with a 1622 cc. Even though the A series is best known for its roadsters, a coupé version was available as of 1956, which, its richer features’ list notwithstanding, never even remotely reached the popularity of the open variant.

In case you’ve been wondering: There’s no way to lock the doors on the roadster, as they have neither lock nor handle. You simply reach in and pull a cord…

MG A prices have been continuously on the rise over the past years.
