Condition
Body:
The car has good panel fit on doors and hoods, completely free from dents, scratches, or door dings. There is no rust, and no body restorations have been necessary. The front and rear sections were professionally repainted in 2024, and the paint is in excellent condition.
Interior:
Seats, door panels, door sills, and dashboard are free from damage. The interior was carefully refurbished in the 1980s and now carries a beautiful patina. The new soft top, along with intact controls, steering wheel, and switches, creates a harmonious overall impression.
Mechanical and Technical:
The engine is a factory-new 1622 unit installed during the 1980s and runs very well.
The gearbox, clutch, and drivetrain function as they should without any unusual noises.
The brakes are in good condition.
All electronics and mechanical systems work as expected.
Service History
The car recently received an oil change (2024), and previous service records and receipts are included. It is exempt from inspection and no longer requires regular roadworthiness tests. The service booklet is not filled out according to the manufacturer’s intervals, which is common for vehicles of this age, but the service history is still preserved through receipts and documentation.
Summary
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a very well-preserved MGA 1600 in fantastic original condition. A Swedish-sold car with only one owner since 1971 and excellent documentation. With recent repainting and an engine in great shape, it offers both collector value and driving enjoyment.
A car for those seeking the classic British sports car lifestyle – or for the collector who understands the value of a well-preserved, Swedish-sold MGA with a unique ownership history.
