MG MGA MK II — 1962

Nicely restored from a good original condition and sourced from a dry climate in Texas, which provides excellent conditions for a rust-sensitive English sixties classic. This particular example has had few but caring owners both in the USA and Sweden. 1962 was also the final model year of the MGA.

"An MGA in its final - and possibly best - version and model year, and furthermore in a particularly charming appearance and condition."

Description

The car was imported from Texas, USA, in May 2005 by the previous owner, a man from Gantofta, outside Landskrona. It was registered and approved for traffic in July of the same year. The car seems to have been in Texas since new and had few owners. The current owner is a devoted Anglophile when it comes to cars, and when they purchased the car in 2018, it was already in an exemplary condition and has been further refined since then. The gearbox was not in the best condition; it was difficult to shift and had been assembled poorly, requiring renovation. Otherwise, it has mainly involved regular enthusiastic care and minor adjustments.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car features a lively 1600cc engine that the owner has optimized, now delivering 90 horsepower in reality, not just on paper. Additionally, the gearbox has been renovated and provides a well-known and smooth gear engagement, with a classic unsynchronized 1st gear that requires careful handling. The most recent and thus last approved inspection was conducted on September 26, 2018.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in mint condition and features a cheerful two-tone combination with black carpets and brown leather seats. The engine and luggage compartments are clean, dry, and inviting.

  • Exterior condition:

    Beautiful paint in excellent condition. A couple of minor dings on the edge of the hood and one door. Both the convertible top and the cockpit cover are in pristine, clean, and excellent condition, and they are made from a slightly more exclusive canvas fabric. These are complemented by two different types of side windows – one type for relatively weatherproof sealing when used with the convertible top, and another type for lighter wind deflection to enhance the true roadster feeling. Well-maintained chrome spoke wheels with good tires.

  • General condition:

    High-quality finish and a representative example in almost showroom condition. Proud, stylish, and in a beloved red color.

Facts about the model

The MGA Mk2 was only produced for a short period, introduced as a 1961 model and ceased production in 1962. According to information, the majority of the left-hand drive models were exported to the American market. A car model is often at its best just before discontinuation, and an MGA Mk2 with a reliable engine and front disc brakes appears particularly attractive, especially in the final De Luxe version. In this version, the remaining parts from the more advanced chassis of the commercially unsuccessful Twin Cam model were used, creating perhaps the most interesting MGA model in a small exclusive edition.
