1960 MG A Roadster for sale
Current customer rating: (286 votes ) based onWhen the MGA arrived in 1955. it must have come as quite a shock
to MG aficionados who had become used to the pre-war look of the
company's sports cars. The MGA was a complete departure in styling
for MG. Its beautiful streamlined body was right up to the minute
in terms of appearance and it was powered by a new engine as MG had
decided that the old XPAG unit had had its day. The MGA was powered
by the much more modern B-series engine that had made its debut in
the recently announced Magnette saloon. MG enthusiasts had
been given a hint of what was to come as early as 1951 when George
Phillips drove a re-bodied TD Midget in the Le-Mans 24 hour
endurance race. The car had been built for him by MG following his
successes with his own TC. which had been fitted with a lightweight
two-seat race car style body. So different was the appearance of
his new TD racer. that it must have been difficult to believe that
it was actually a venerable TD Midget underneath! It was a
road-going version of the Phillips car which had been proposed to
BMC in 1952 as a replacement for the TD Midget. but which had been
turned down because of the corporation's decision to build the
Austin-Healey 100. MG had gone as far as building a full prototype
of the MGA by using TD running gear. the 1250 XPAG engine. a
re-designed chassis. and the MGA bodywork.
Part of a private collection. this striking looking roadster has
recently undergone a process of light renovation. This included
work to the interior. electrical and mechanical elements of the car
to provide a motoring experience that is not only exciting but also
reliable. In past years. it has been re-painted its current colour
and also benefits from a re-trim in tan leather with contrasting
blue piping. The 1600 engine runs well and she sits purposefully on
chrome wire wheels. Supplied with a full one year MoT test
certificate. this attractive and well-priced example should supply
lots of fun over the forthcoming summer months.
