MG MGA 1600

1960 MG MGA 1600 – Elegant British Roadster

This vehicle is visible in the Eau de Pétrole showroom.

The MGA marked a turning point for MG when it was introduced in 1955, ushering in a sleek, modern design that left the pre-war styling of earlier models behind. By 1959, the range had evolved into the MGA 1600, offering improved performance, disc brakes up front, and subtle refinements that made it even more appealing to both enthusiasts and everyday drivers.
This 1960 MG MGA 1600 embodies the spirit of classic British motoring — elegant lines, open-top driving pleasure, and mechanical simplicity that makes it as rewarding today as it was more than 60 years ago.
