Merit Cars Presents: A wonderful opportunity to own one of Britain's most iconic sports cars. This 1960 MGA 1600 has been in the same family since 1964 and has recently benefited from an extensive restoration, leaving much of the expensive work already completed. Finished in elegant Jet Black with a red interior, this MGA is equipped with the correct 1600 engine and the highly desirable chrome wire wheels, giving it the classic appearance enthusiasts love. Several years ago the car underwent a comprehensive restoration. It was repainted in high-quality Jet Black paint that still presents beautifully today with exceptional gloss and depth. Chrome, trim and glass all present very well. Mechanically the car is outstanding. The engine was professionally rebuilt at a reported cost of over $5,000 and has seen very little use since completion. It starts immediately, idles smoothly and pulls strongly. The transmission shifts beautifully and the car drives exactly as an MGA should. The remaining work is largely cosmetic. Included with the sale is a complete interior kit—including seats and carpeting—with a reported value of over $4,000, allowing the next owner to complete the restoration to an exceptionally high standard. The spare tire compartment is beautifully preserved and the underside is remarkably clean, reflecting the quality of the restoration work already completed. Included are: • Correct 1600 engine • Chrome wire wheels • Complete interior kit (over $4,000 value) • Convertible top • Side curtains • Spare wheel • Books • Extra parts Whether you choose to enjoy the car exactly as it sits or complete the final cosmetic details, this MGA represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of Britain's most beloved roadsters.
