1962 MG MGA

This 1962 MG MGA 1600 Mk II roadster was initially delivered to Clark Rambler Inc. in Charleston, West Virginia, and it remained with its original owner until the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2024. Work in preparation for the sale involved adjusting the valves as well as replacing the tires and brake master cylinder. The car is powered by a 1,622cc inline-four linked to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in black over red leather upholstery. Equipment includes a manually retractable black convertible soft top, a cockpit tonneau cover, side curtains, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, and bright bumpers. This MGA 1600 Mk II is now offered by the selling dealer with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, the window sticker, initial purchase documentation, the owner’s manual, and a clean Pennsylvania title. The car is finished in black (BK1), and paintwork to the right door and rocker panel was performed at some point under prior ownership. Exterior equipment includes a replacement manually retractable black convertible soft top, a replacement cockpit tonneau cover, a bright body-contour grille, and bright front and rear bumpers with bumperettes. Knock-off 15″ wire wheels are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were installed in preparation for the sale. Additional service involved replacing the brake master cylinder, the front bump stops, steering rack gaiters, and lower A-arm bushings. The bucket seats are upholstered in red leather and are accented by a color-coordinated center armrest and door panels. Interior appointments include side curtains, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, a heater, and door map pockets. The Motorola radio does not work, and the selling dealer notes that the seat upholstery has been replaced. The four-spoke banjo-style steering wheel is mounted to an adjustable steering column and fronts Jaeger instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 79k miles, approximately 40 miles of which were added under current ownership. The 1,622cc B-series inline-four is equipped with dual SU carburetors and was factory rated at 90 horsepower. Service in preparation for the sale involved changing the oil, cleaning the carburetors, adjusting the valves, and replacing the fan belt and starter pull switch. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The car was initially delivered to Clark Rambler Inc. in Charleston, West Virginia, and the window sticker shows a total suggested retail price of $2,699. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists factory equipment, identification numbers, and production information. Filed under: mg, mg a
