Offered here is a very attractive 1961 MGA 1600 Mk2 Roadster, presented in an elegant light ivory finish with a striking red interior, and showing excellent overall proportions. The vendor informs us the car has been in current enthusiast ownership for circa three years, and benefits from an extensive restoration carried out over a six to seven year period, with invoices in excess of £10,000. As part of the restoration, the car also benefitted from a newly recommissioned engine, along with a new hood and tonneau cover, and is further enhanced by a Moto-Lita steering wheel. The car sits on Dunlop racing wheels and features deluxe leather seats, giving it the look of the desirable Twin Cam Deluxe model.
The car is registered as 877 YUX, with chassis number GHNL2105581. It is currently tested until March 2026 and displays an indicated 4,000 miles, believed to be since restoration. Pleasing details include correct badging, smart brightwork, period style wheels and a beautifully presented cockpit with classic instrumentation and a strong driver focused layout.
Launched in 1955, the MGA represented a major step forward for MG, bringing sleek modern styling and improved road manners compared to the earlier T Series models. Today, the MGA remains one of the most usable and charming British sports cars of its era, offering a wonderfully involving driving experience and enduring appeal.
