Description
History:
The MG A is considered one of the best-selling sports roadsters in British automotive history. Its success story began in 1955 as the successor to the T series. The extreme popularity also outside the British market is unique: Of more than 101'000 units produced, only 5'869 remained in England, more than 94% of the total production was exported - a world record! Perhaps it is due to the classic body line, the simplicity of the construction or simply because the MG A is now one of the most popular classic cars in a price range of 40'000 to 55'000 Swiss francs that it is still one of the best sellers today, and especially at Goodtimer. The new MG A Cabriolet on offer is the popular 1600 MKI with the then revolutionary front disc brakes. With the type certificate number 2937, this example was first registered in Switzerland in August 1961.
Body and paintwork:
The vehicle was restored and repainted in winter 2009/ 2010. Thanks to the very good care, the roadster still presents itself very beautifully today. The body is in perfect condition and the paintwork is still very beautiful after 13 years.
Interior:
Great care was taken to preserve the leather upholstery. Thanks to the restoration at the time, the upholstery shows only a slight patina and is in excellent condition.
Engine and mechanics:
The entire mechanical system was checked and serviced every year in a specialist workshop. The MG A has passed the recent MOT inspection without any defects and there is neither a maintenance backlog nor any need for repair.
Chassis:
Chassis and brakes have been bench tested and are in perfect condition. The disc brakes are effective and allow the MG A to move quickly and safely.
Driving experience:
The MG A is probably one of the most typical British classics in the price range up to 55, 000 Swiss francs. No other roadster in this class offers such a perfection of form and such an original driving experience as the MG A. For this very reason, the MG A is considered the optimal entry-level classic of the 50s and 60s.
Recommendation:
The MG A is one of the most beautiful British classics of the time and enjoys a very high level of popularity. Unfortunately, there are not many well restored and preserved examples left. If you want to own a real classic roadster, love the fresh-lift pleasure and do not want high maintenance costs, an MG A is the best choice.
