SOLD: 1960 MGA 1600 MK1 (1800 Supercharged)

Registered 2nd May 1960 this beautiful motorcar, in exceptional condition, is presented in Old English White with red hide and carpets.

The standard 1600cc engine has been replaced with a later 1800cc from an MGB which has also been supercharged. The engine is a well-renowned Peter Burgess unit giving a very healthy 157bhp (a significant gain from the 80bhp of the original MK1 1600cc powerplant). Additional modifications include both cosmetic and engineering enhancements, and include:

- Programmable electronic aldon amethyst ignition

- 5-speed manual gearbox with 3.9 differential

- High capacity alloy radiators and twin electric fans

- Louvered bonnet

- Evans waterless coolant

- Front MGB disc brakes

- Koni telescopic damper conversion on rear

- Electric power-steering by EZ

- Negatively earthed alternator

- Twin-Cam style alloy roadwheels with faux centre knock-on spinners

- Mota-Lita elegant period wood rimmed steering wheel

- Period radio

- Inertia reel seatbelts

- Luggage rack and straps

- Wind deflector

- Red tonneau cover

- Removable black vinyl hood and doors

This MGA drives superbly. It has been sympathetically enhanced without losing the charm or theatre of the original design. The electric power-steering is nicely weighted, whilst the supercharged 1800cc unit and 5-speed ‘box make for a more practical and enjoyable experience on today’s roads. A heritage certificate is included with this unique motorcar that is quite easy to fall in love with. Needs to be seen and driven!
