This 1960 MG MGA 1600 Roadster is finished in white over red leather upholstery and is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a retractable black soft top, dual SU carburetors, 15″ wire wheels, chrome bumpers with overriders, front disc brakes, and a Motorola AM stereo. The car is said to have spent several years in Ohio prior to the seller’s acquisition in 1990. This MGA is offered with removable side windows, a tonneau cover, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
