1961 Mk 1 MGA 1600 Coupe in chariot red SOLD
In May 1959 the standard cars received an updated engine, now at 1588cc producing 79. 5bhp. At the front disc brakes were fitted, but drums remained in the rear.
This lovely 1961 Mk 1 MGA 1600 Coupe is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example fresh from a full nut and bolt, bare-metal exacting restoration. Presented in its original Chariot Red, with a red interior, it was purchased by an MG enthusiast in 2012 with a view to restoring it. A move overseas meant the project stalled, but not before he sourced a period-correct 1588cc engine, having this, the gearbox and clutch, fully rebuilt by marque specialists Moto-Build Racing Ltd. in Surrey. The car retains some refreshing patina in places, having an original interior and many period features in keeping with its charm and sheer usability as a fun classic car. The project was recently completed and the car is ready to use and enjoy. With accompanying invoices, some history and its original green logbook, there is much to recommend this car.
Seriously pretty and quintessentially British, MGAs offer real driving pleasure on the open road and make great entries into local rallies and club events. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. Finance can be arranged. Part exchange considered. Free U. K mainland delivery. Please call us for any further details or visit our website morseclassics. co. uk.
