1961 MGA Mk II Roadster GHL 93345 <\/a>– sold for \u20ac29,800
\nThis MGA received a proper frame-off restoration between 2011 and 2013. The frame was sandblasted and repainted in Epoxy. The wooden floors are new, and so is the electrical circuit. The front axle, the dynamo, the ignition, gearbox, clutch and 1600cc engine have been reconditioned. More than \u20ac 13,000 worth of new parts was purchased to complete this restoration. Rims, wheel covers, radiator, brake calipers and drums are all new. An electric fuel pump was installed too. The tight red leather upholstery on new seat cushions has the most beautiful effect.

1962 MGA Mark II 1600 Roadster<\/a> – sold for $30,250
\nThe beautiful Iris blue Mk II roadster presented here, with a blue interior and white piping, was the recipient of a three-year frame-off, fully documented restoration performed by a marque specialist to exacting standards. The frame and all suspension components were powder-coated and reassembled with grade-eight NOS hardware. The engine and transmission were professionally rebuilt to superb standards while virtually every mechanical system on the car was replaced. The MGA’s restoration was completed a short time before its sale to the current owner in 2006. At that time, the car had only logged break-in miles. Following the acquisition of the car, the owner has maintained the car\u2019s exceptional condition and has only driven it about 700 to 800 miles in the best of weather. It even placed second overall in an all-MGA show.
