MGA 1500, 1600 & 1600 Mk II

MG MGA 1500, 1600 & 1600 Mk II: 1955 - 1962

The MGA, produced from 1955 to 1962 in 1500, 1600, and 1600 Mk II variants, marked a bold shift in MG design with its sleek, aerodynamic lines and modern styling. Available as a roadster or fixed head coupé, the MGA combined graceful looks with lively four-cylinder engines ranging from 1489cc to 1622cc. With its light handling, engaging performance, and approachable mechanicals, the MGA became a favourite among sports car enthusiasts and remains one of the most iconic MG models ever built.
