MG A 1600 Mk II Roadster (1963) – Dutch Classic in Beautiful Condition

One of the most beautiful British roadsters ever built, this 1963 MG A 1600 Mk II combines timeless styling, pure driving pleasure, and excellent overall condition.

This original Dutch MG is presented in very good condition and has always been carefully maintained. The car drives, shifts, and brakes exactly as an MG A should and is ready to enjoy immediately on scenic tours, club events, or relaxed summer evening drives.

The powerful 1600 Mk II engine is the most sought-after version of the MGA range. Thanks to its low weight, direct steering, and engaging driving character, this classic still delivers a unique driving experience that modern cars simply cannot match.

Condition

The car is in very good, well-maintained condition. It is not a concours car, but a wonderful driver's car that can be proudly displayed at events while also being enjoyed exactly as it was intended: on the road.

The paintwork, chrome, and overall presentation are well cared for, and the car has a presence that attracts admiring attention wherever it goes. I personally purchased this car 23 years ago because of its beautiful and timeless lines.

Many enthusiasts regard the MGA as one of the most beautiful British sports cars ever built. Even people with little interest in cars turn around to watch it pass by.

The car represents an era. This is the 1950s and 1960s in their purest form: no screens, no electronics, no driver aids. Just you, the road, and the mechanical experience.

You do not simply drive a car—you experience it. Open-top motoring, the sound of the engine, the smell of petrol and leather, and the direct steering feel. These are qualities modern cars can no longer offer.

This is a car that makes people smile. At traffic lights you often receive a smile, a thumbs-up, or a story from someone who once owned an MG. It has character. Every drive feels special, even a short trip to the local bakery.

Why this is a wonderful driver's car

  • It is a Mk II, and the Mk II is not just any MGA.

  • For many enthusiasts, this is the version to own:

  • Most powerful original engine

  • Relatively rare

  • Final evolution of the model

  • More desirable than many standard 1500 versions

  • The colour: Red. This colour perfectly highlights the car's beautiful shape.

An honest car

  • Well cared for
  • Meant to be driven
  • Not over-restored

This is a car that should be enjoyed on the road, not hidden away in storage. Driving it is part of the pleasure.

  • Well-maintained and ready for immediate use
  • Fitted with a fully rebuilt gearbox in 2026
  • Get in and drive
  • A car people remember

The MGA has something few classics possess: almost everyone finds it beautiful. Its friendly and elegant appearance appeals to a remarkably broad audience.

In Summary

This MGA is not a museum piece, but exactly the kind of classic it was designed to be: a beautiful, honest roadster to be enjoyed. A car that puts a smile on your face every time you drive it and attracts positive reactions wherever it goes.
