The MGA was the first sports car to sell in excess of 100,000 units, beginning with the earliest 1500cc XPAG-powered version. The MKII was given a new inline four-cylinder overhead valve engine displacing 1622cc and offering 90 horsepower. It was the first MG capable of exceeding 100 mph in stock form. The increase in performance prompted the factory to upgrade the MKII's brakes with the addition of Dunlop front discs, which greatly improved stopping power. The MK II also was given a revised dashboard layout.
This MGA MK II 1600 Roadster has spent nearly all of its life in California, where its second owner began a comprehensive restoration in November 1984, at approximately 92,000 miles. The engine was rebuilt in February of 1985, as was the transmission the following month. This car has recently been acquired by a Florida collector.
The car is painted in Savannah Beige with complementary Saddle leatherette seats, door panels, and dashboard. There is a tan square-weave carpeting with contrasting Saddle piping to match the seats. The car has been fitted with a tan Robbins 'Stayfast' convertible top over tan metal bows and there is a zippered tonneau cover and plastic side curtains with dividers. Accessory wind wings and sun visors, as well as a period-correct after-market bumper guard and grille protector are fitted. There are painted steel disc wheels, chromed hubcaps, and trim rings.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2013
