This 1961 MG MGA 1600 MK1 Roadster is a beautifully restored example of classic British motoring, finished in timeless Old English White over red leather upholstery. With just 82,953 miles shown and a full nut-and-bolt restoration completed in 2021, this car is both a collector-quality showpiece and a thoroughly enjoyable driver.
The MGA was produced from 1955 to 1962, with the 1600 MK1 being introduced in 1959. This version came with performance upgrades and improved braking, making it one of the more desirable and usable variants for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This particular example retains much of its original character and has been well cared for
Key Specs:
The current owner acquired the MGA in 2020 from its previous longtime owner in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Shortly after the purchase, the car underwent a full nut-and-bolt restoration completed in 2021, with meticulous attention to originality and detail. Every major component — mechanical, cosmetic, and structural — was addressed to return the car to its period-correct glory.
The Old English White paint presents beautifully, paired with fresh red leather upholstery that perfectly captures the car's vintage British character. All chrome trim, rubber seals, lighting, and badging were restored or replaced as needed during the restoration.
The 1.6L inline-four engine was rebuilt and runs strong, paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. The MGA's light, communicative steering and classic roadster balance make it a joy to drive. It also features a restored factory heater, black soft top, side curtains, and a cockpit tonneau cover — ready for top-up or top-down enjoyment.
Additional Highlights:
This MGA is a turnkey classic — ideal for someone looking for a fully restored, collector-grade British roadster that’s equally at home on the show field or scenic backroads.
