1961 MG MGA

1961 body with a 1965 MGB Engine

1978-1980 transmission with electric overdrive

This is a prime example of a driver-quality MGA.

It is a 1961 body with a 1965 MGB engine, and a 1978-1980 transmission with electric overdrive. This is very significant enhancement, which is very rare. That addition means this MG has overdrive, and can be driven on the highways in excess of 60 miles per hour. A normal MGA cannot do this. Therefore, you get the beautiful styling of the MGA, and still can drive it on the roads of today.

This car has had several significant upgrades and updates:

* New floors were installed by previous owner about 4 years ago.

* Complete new interior and carpeting were added

* Entire dash was replaced and all new wiring done

* Handbrake was rebuilt

* Master cylinder was rebuilt

* Seat belts were added

* Turn signals and lights were rewired

* Replaced Speedo cable

* Carbs have been rebuilt

* All air filters were replaced repainted engine, brackets, and air filter bodies

* Bleed brakes and clutch

* This MG has lockheed has hydraulic drum brakes

Engine Repairs- R&R engine, disassembled engine to strip off old paint and repaint with MG Red, resealed engine, checked engine compression and bearing clearances- all within specs, installed new polished aluminum valve cover, installed new exhaust manifold, rebuilt starter, adjusted valve clearances, new distributor/cap & rotor, coil, spark plugs and plug wires, rebuilt carburetors and replaced link rods, installed electric fuel pump & pressure regulator, blocked off mechanical fuel pump port, installed new choke and throttle cables.

Drive-line - Resealed and serviced transmission fluid, installed new 90 degree speedometer cable adapter, installed new throw-out bearing and pilot bearing, clutch/ flywheel is in new condition- was previously replaced. Serviced differential.

Drained and cleaned fuel tank

Flushed brake fluid, replaced left rear wheel/ brake cylinder. Brake shoes and pads have been previously replaced and are in new condition.

Installed new radiator and electric cooling fan.

Rebuilt wiper motor

All suspension bushings and shocks looked in good condition.

The true mileage is unknown. The odometer shows "06494", however, it's undetermined what that truly is. I am guessing upward, and assuming it is "106,494", but again, it could be much less.

The MG has the hardware in place for the convertible top, and a top "frame" can be included if desired. It is in good shape, however, the material needs to be replaced via one of the MG mail order parts books and installed to the frame.

I am a Ferrari/Lamborghini Consultant, with an Authorized Ferrari dealership here in the United States. I am selling this on the behalf of a fantastic personal client, and will handle all correspondence, arrangements, and questions on his behalf.

THIS LISTING WAS SOLD LAST MONTH for $16,300, in a Best-Offer Listing, but the buyer backed-out due to likely, lack of available funds.  Therefore, it has been relisted, at this time. 

NO TRADES, OF ANY TYPE, Thank you

ALL PHOTOGRAPHS I POSSESS ARE IN THIS LISTING. No additional photos can be provided at this time.

There is a restoration bill that I can provide TRUE and genuine buyers that shows around $15,000 in service/restoration/new interior etc.  The amount we are selling this MG for is well below the amount that has been spent in the last two years getting it to this great condition.  Due to new circumstances, we have decided to sell this vehicle, and move forward. 

AS MY TIME IS VERY LIMITED, working 10 hours a day with new Ferrari, I will not be able to respond to unrealistic offers, general questions, or other vague inquiries.  It is amazing the interest this listing has generated previously.

PLEASE ONLY EMAIL if you are truly interested in pursuing this MG, and prepared to pay at/near the offering price, with funds immediately available.  If a genuine inquiry is received I WILL RESPOND TO YOU IMMEDIATELY. 

Emails of a general nature about the MG’s or other not-purchasing related emails are not welcomed.  Again, it is astonishing the interest the listing creates and the odd emails I have received in the past.

Thank you, and happy bidding!

* Car is sold As/Is, and transportation will be at the expense of the owner.
