1961 MG MGA 1600 Roadster Supercharged 1.6L
Description
A body-off refurbishment from 2007 to 2013 included a repaint in yellow, powder-coating the frame, and interior reupholstery as well as fitting a Moss supercharger for its 1.6-liter inline-four.
The 1.6-liter inline-four have been refurbished and is equipped with an aluminum cylinder head, a supercharger, and an exhaust header from Moss Motors.
Cooling is via a Wizard aluminum radiator featuring an electric fan.
The car has been rewired with a harness from Advance Auto Wire.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford T-9 five-speed transmission and rear end gears sourced from an early MGB.
The frame was powder-coated as part of the refurbishment.
Exterior details include a tan convertible top, bumper overriders, recessed grille slats, Lucas driving lights, and a chrome luggage rack.
Painted 15″ knock-off wire wheels wear 185R-15 Coker Classic wide-whitewall radial tires.
Power-assisted brakes comprise slotted and cross-drilled discs with red calipers up front and gray-painted drums in the rear.
The tan interior have been retrimmed by Classic Interior Restorations and features twin bucket seats with matching door panels and carpets.
Switches under the dash operate the parking and hazard lights as well as the electric fuel pump and ignition system.
A banjo-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline positioned to the left of oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level readouts.
A supercharger boost gauge is mounted under the dash, which also houses a retro-style digital stereo ahead of the passenger.
The five-digit odometer shows 90k miles, total mileage is unknown.
