1960 MGA 1600 Coupe

No Reserve

Untouched for many years; in need of complete restoration

What a find!

This lovely but rather sad MGA was first registered in London in March 1960. Remaining in the south for all of its life until now, it appears to have been on the road and put though MOTs until approximately 1980 when it was laid up in a rather dilapidated shed.

This particular model is one of the first 1600s and in arguably the better looking coupe format.

In total, it appears to have had about seven owners over its life and although 1129 VW is no longer recognised by the DVLA, it is still showing on the car and a copy of the old logbooks are all on file.

There are bundles of old invoices on file too from the 1970s which does make an interesting read although are not necessarily relevant to the jobs that now need doing.

It is definitely a job worth doing and the chassis is actually not as bad as it first looks. The engine bay and interior appear to have been lived in by local wildlife over the years, so a thorough restoration is needed but with parts for such cars readily available, all you need is some space and patience isn’t it?
