1961 MG MGA

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this fine 1961 MG MGA 1600 MkII Coupe, a timeless symbol of British motoring craftsmanship. Finished in an elegant Old English White over a deep red interior, this MGA captures the essence of postwar sports car design - refined, lightweight, and built for pure driver engagement.

Under the bonnet lies the spirited 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, delivering a wonderfully mechanical and connected driving experience. The MkII variant represented the final and most refined evolution of the MGA line, featuring subtle styling updates and improved performance that made it a standout among its contemporaries.

This particular example embodies the charm and simplicity that made the MGA so beloved by enthusiasts around the world. The red interior provides a vibrant contrast to the crisp exterior, while the classic banjo-style steering wheel and minimalist gauges preserve the authentic feel of 1960s British motoring. Radial tires enhance drivability while maintaining the period-correct appearance.

The MGA's reputation was built on balance, poise, and beauty - and this coupe delivers on every front. Whether admired at a concours or enjoyed on a scenic backroad, this 1961 MGA MkII remains a rolling piece of motoring art.
