A perfect symbol of British post-war graft, the MGA was far more than a successful export drive.

The MGA, which has a motorsport heritage, was developed from the 1950s Le Mans MG TDs.

Completely restyled with an appealing, aerodynamic body shell, it was fitted with a new range of B-Series engines and enhanced with disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front suspension.

Proving to be a perky performer with an agile driving experience, the MGA's reputation was later enhanced by the upgraded 1.6-litre twin-cam engines and improved comfort.

Technically simple yet effective, the MGA is well served by clubs and specialists and attracts a lively social scene and superb parts availability.

This lovely UK-market 1961 MGA 1600 is being offered from its 29-year ownership, seeking its next long-term enthusiast keeper.
