Description
History:
The MG A is one of the most beautiful British classics of the 50s and 60s and is an interesting investment. Its design language and rock-solid technology make every MG A a welcome guest and loyal companion. The original version came onto the market with a 72 hp 1489 cc four-cylinder twin-carburettor engine. The technically slightly improved MGA 1600 variant (1588 cm3, 80 hp, front disc brakes) followed in May 1959, followed by a further development stage MGA 1600 Mk II in March 1961 (1622 cm3, 86 hp).
This example is considered a rarity, as it is an original Swiss first delivery.
Bodywork and paintwork:
The bodywork was refreshed and painted in 2021 at a cost of over 10, 000 francs.
Interior:
The new leather seats are also beautifully finished, as are the carpets, the soft top, a cockpit tarpaulin or the original triple-spoke steering wheel.
Engine and mechanics:
Under the bonnet, the MG A looks like a new car. The entire mechanical system has been overhauled at great expense and many parts have been revised.
Chassis:
The new chrome-spoke wheels are fitted with Michelin XZX tyres, the brake system has been overhauled and much more.
Driving experience:
The most original of all MG A roadsters shines with its crisp sound and a reliable engine that has been tried and tested over many years. Like every MG A, you are exposed to the airstream and don't notice the 8 hp less than the more powerful model. Only on hills does the ‘little’ 1500 have to breathe a little more than its bigger brothers.
Recommendation:
An MG A with which you can drive off and have fun.
