Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1961 MG MGA! This vehicle is in great running order and condition. The engine has reportedly been replaced with a later, and larger MGB engine in 2020.
The vehicle has been in the family since 1984 and reportedly was purchased from California prior to that. After thousands of dollars in restoration and years of love, the vehicle is offered for sale due to health reasons.
Shot in a stunning shade of lipstick Red with a wonderful shade of saddle tan interior this vehicle screams class, sophistication, taste, and style. While this will never be the fastest vehicle on the road or track, it has stiff competition in the driver's experience category. There are few things more fun than driving a slow car fast.
The undercarriage is in a believably survivor condition, showing some newer parts alongside some uncoated metals that are allowed to show surface rust. Proof of roadworthiness is evident in the form of water spots and dirty on the underside.
Overall the paint quality is good with only minor chips noted, and the interior is in very good condition. The knobs and buttons all appear to function correctly and are not showing signs of fading or heavy use. With the MGA looks and MGB engine, and above driver quality aesthetics we feel this is an IDEAL driver's car or collection mascot!
This 1961 MG MGA is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video! GatewayClassicCars.com
