MG MGA 1961
General description :
This is a 1960's "Special", the sort of car that guys with engineering backgrounds built in their garages, military facilities, airplane hangars or factories after hours back-in-the-day. This Steel bodied roadster runs a Buick Aluminum block V8. This is basically the same engine build under license and installed in many Rovers and the MGB V8's by the factory. BE SURE TO SEE THE DRIVING VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE! She has been carefully and fully serviced in our restoration shop. The engine is strong, does not smoke and carries great oil pressure. The leather upholstery and canvas top are new. She is absolutely sound and rust-free (please see the undercarriage photos on our website). Prefer a manual transmission? We can provide that for about $7500 additional(give or take). There is a more information on our website and many, many more photos than are here on this page.
