RARE Restored 1962 MGA MKII Deluxe roadster

1962 MG MGA

This 1962 MGA Mk II Deluxe Roadster (1 of 290 Mk II Deluxe Roadsters known to be produced, with far fewer still around) has just over 4,000 miles on the NOS engine since it was restored about 20 years ago by a previous chairman of the North America MGA Register and an MGA judge. The body-off restoration returned this MGA Mk II Deluxe to original specifications and appearance, using restored original parts when available, NOS parts, and reproduction parts only when necessary. The engine runs flawlessly, the exterior continues to present strongly, and the interior remains fresh. OVERVIEW

• This is a 20-year-old restoration with approximately 4,000 miles of use.
• Both the exterior and interior restorations present strongly and as well maintained.
• Competition-style Dunlop center-lock wheels distinguish the Mk II Deluxe as original.
• Clean California title

History Factoid The owner who sold it to the guy who sold it to me says he bought it to get his wife bitten by the British bug through an ad in the Washington Post. He called the owner, offered the full price, and drove 2 hours to DC "in record time." It seems to have a race history due to the old aux tank mounting brackets in boot, additional gauges, and warning lights. 2 owners before him had rebuilt the engine. He had it sitting for 2 years for a restore.He purchased NOS parts and an NOS stock engine from the UK. He said 7 or 8 NOS 1622 engines were discovered in an old warehouse in Britain not long after he purchased the car and he was one the first to call and purchase one, still in it's original shipping crate. His name was Wes Maupin from Virginia.I have loved this car. Always stored in heated garage and well maintained. I hope it finds a new home with similar devotion.Full details including more photos and videos, can be found at https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1962-mg-a-parkersburg-wv-112562
