Before the official launch of the MG A in 1955, three aluminum-bodied prototype cars contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans and were quite successful, finishing the race fifth and sixth in class. As a result, when the MG A was launched shortly afterwards, the car already possessed an international racing pedigree, helping ensure the modern new model's immediate acceptance among MG traditionalists. The initial 1,500 cc engine specification was succeeded by an upsized 1,600 unit by 1959, featuring a useful power bump from 68 to 80 factory-rated horsepower and new Lockheed disc brakes up front. MG A production continued through 1962 until the advent of the all-new MG B.
Finished in striking Red paint over a Black-upholstered cockpit, this 1960 MG A 1600 Mk I Roadster features a mechanically fit 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, paired with an updated 5-speed manual gearbox unlocking further speed potential plus cruising ease. Mechanical features include an upgraded radiator, stainless exhaust and chrome wire-spoke wheels. Desirable accessories include a grille guard/badge bar, twin driving lamps and a pair of fender-mounted chrome mirrors. The racy MG cockpit is very nicely outfitted with a striking wood grain dash and Moto-Lita style steering wheel with triple spokes and wood rim, plus an updated digital AM/FM CD stereo head unit.
Long renowned for its sporty driving experience and startling open-air performance, the MG A remains one of the most beloved of all British roadsters of the postwar era and a true racing icon.

As-Is:
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase. The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale. No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.

There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”. However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please inquire if you are interested.

Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”.
