Description for MG MGA 1960
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
So starts the famous 1965 Beatles song, which also aptly describes the situation of Audrey, a 1960 MGA convertible.
It has been a wonderful car for our family and holds many great memories, but the time has come to pass it along to its next caretaker.
The car can best be described as a good daily driver.A sweet spot between being a trailer queen and something that you would be embarrassed to be seen in.
During my 8-year ownership I have done the following:
Redone the interior of the car in black (formerly red).This included installing Hushmat on the firewall (in black), Hushmat along the entire floor surface as well as two layers on the transmission tunnel.New carpet kit from Moss along with new floor mats. New padding for the seats. New black vinyl rails for the cockpit. New dash (painted to match exterior color). New or refurbished Jaeger gauges - all matching and in working order.New three point retractable seat belts with factory correct mounts. The interior also includes a nice Moto-Lita steering wheel along with aluminum frame covers.
The car includes a Retro-Sound stereo which is pressure mounted to the dash so it can be easily converted back to a radio blank without damaging the dash paint.This stereo combines modern technology with old-fashioned looks.Also included is a speaker housing that mounts to the spare tire screws so it too can easily be converted back for those wanting originality.
Mechanically the car has been converted to a negative ground with new brake lines, suspension bushings, as well as numerous gaskets and hoses (receipts upon request).
On the outside, the car has new Minilite style rims in chrome and gunmetal gray with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.It has a black short style tonneau cover along with a black top (not installed).
This car is almost 60 years old. There is no warranty.
Car pickup/shipment is the responsibility of the buyer.I will try to assist in a reasonable manner to help facilitate delivery.
I have tried my best to accurately depict the condition of the car, but the car is sold as is, where is, with no implied warranty.If you would like a particular picture not shown in the listing, please ask. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.
I have the title - free, clear, and in hand.
Happy bidding
Just FYI - I changed the odometer reading to 17,416 because that is what it shows. Unsure of exact mileage (which is pretty normal for a car of this era)
