Seller's Notes

This MG A is a charming and extensively resto-modded classic British roadster, presented in an appealing colour scheme. It is now powered by a Mazda-sourced naturally aspirated 2.5-litre 16-valve inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a Mazda five-speed manual transmission. This example is understood to be an original Australian-market model, which passed compliance in January 1960. The odometer indicates 94 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1960 This MG A Roadster is finished in Pacific Blue over a light tan Nappa leather-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting dark blue lower dashboard, blue Wilton carpets, and chrome trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch Dunlop Racing-style alloy wheels with chrome three-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Continental ComfortContact CC6 tyres. Equipment now includes a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, a heater, an analogue clock, an aluminium radiator, quad throttle body injection, a stainless steel exhaust, a strengthened chassis with alloy honeycomb floors, full heat and sound insulation, power-assisted steering, a limited-slip differential, a 5-link rear suspension system, adjustable coilover telescopic shock absorbers and springs, billet alloy four-piston front brake callipers with vented discs, rear solid disc brakes, stainless steel braided brake hoses, seam welded and de-seamed outer panels, heated seats, and a Mazda 2.5-litre 16-valve DOHC inline-four engine. The front and rear bumpers have been removed, alongside most of the exterior trim details, to give the car a refined, ‘smoothed’ aesthetic. Accompanied by two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the vehicle has undergone a complete restoration. The seller states that the car has not been serviced since its restoration. The MG A is a quintessential British roadster, celebrated for its elegant lines, engaging driving dynamics, and classic charm. This example reportedly benefits from an extensive restoration and discerning modifications, including a modern 2.5-litre engine and a five-speed manual gearbox, enhancing its performance and usability. Presented in an appealing colour scheme, it promises to be a captivating weekend toy or a distinctive addition to any collection of re-imagined classic sports cars.
