Description
MG MGA Cabriolet | 1961
Highlights:
-
- 1.6 Liter 4-cylinder engine (not running)
- 4-speed manual transmission
- Restoration project
This 1961 MG MGA offers a project opportunity for enthusiasts seeking to revive one of the most iconic British roadsters of the 1960s. Equipped with a 1.6-litre inline-4 engine paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, this example is currently non-running and in need of mechanical and optical restoration.
The car is presented in red, with bodywork showing age, wear, and imperfections. The chrome elements, wheels, and bumpers also display corrosion and patina, consistent with years of use and storage. The soft-top is also in poor condition and requires attention.
Inside, the beige interior requires attention. The carpeting is stained and worn, while the steering wheel has heavily aged. Despite its condition, the cabin remains largely complete.
Overall, this MGA is a restoration candidate, ideal for enthusiasts wanting to bring an authentic 1960s British roadster back to life.
