A stylish classic car that is also exceptionally easy and pleasant to drive—that is undoubtedly the hallmark of this magnificent MGA Roadster MKII. Introduced in 1955 as the successor to the MG TF, the MGA was initially available with a 1500 engine, followed by a 1600 version. The final iteration was the MKII, which remained in production for only one year; this model featured a 1622 cc engine producing 90 hp, front disc brakes, and an improved rear axle. This stunning dark green MGA is remarkable not only for being an MKII model but also because it was originally delivered in the Netherlands and has been in the possession of its most recent owner since 1977.
This beautiful MGA MKII, originally delivered in the Netherlands, was manufactured in 1962 and spent a considerable time in a showroom before receiving its first Dutch registration in August 1967. Although originally white, the car was repainted red by its first owner. The most recent owner subsequently purchased the vehicle with the intention of carrying out a complete, professional restoration. This body-off restoration was executed in the late 1990s with great thoroughness and expertise; an extensive collection of photographs documenting the process accompanies the car. During the restoration, the owner chose to repaint the vehicle in a stylish dark green. Since the restoration, the owner has enjoyed driving the car but, above all, has maintained this MGA with great love and care. The result is impressive; after many years, this classic roadster remains in superb condition.
The stunning dark green paintwork boasts a deep luster and is in excellent condition. The various chrome and trim elements are also in perfect condition, as are the original steel wheels with hubcaps. The chrome luggage rack is not only a stylish accessory but also highly practical and in excellent condition. The various rubber components and trim details are likewise in good condition. Body panel gaps are consistent, and the doors close securely and properly. The convertible top is in excellent condition. Naturally, the side screens are included, and small side wind deflectors can also be fitted.
The interior is also in excellent—almost new—condition. The black leather seats feature perfectly matching dark green piping; they are in excellent condition and offer exceptional comfort. The dashboard is a beautiful sight and remains in impressively good condition. The wooden steering wheel is in superb condition and complements the interior perfectly. We rarely see a car that looks so pristine so many years after its restoration.
Under the bonnet lies a meticulously maintained 1622 cc four-cylinder engine. Naturally, the engine is equipped with twin SU carburetors and runs exceptionally smoothly and quietly. It is evident that this car has received a great deal of love and care. The brakes feel firm and solid, and the steering is remarkably smooth. This MGA shifts and drives with great ease, making it a truly appealing driver's car. Please visit our website at https://www.klassiekaktief.nl.
