Steve Schultz's 1960 MGA 1600
According to the documents provided by the British Motor Heritage Trust the car was built on September 12, 1960. The original color was Old English White with a black interior and gray hood (top). It was delivered with disk wheels and the heater package. Other options include gray tonneau, windscreen washer and tubeless tyres. The car was delivered to the US to the MG distribution center. No information is available on the first owner or the dealer that sold the car. The VIN number is GHNL-98151 with body number B39408 and rear end number 1022D. The motor number is 16G/U/H22631. The number assigned by NAMGAR is 5068. The 1600 engine has 1588 cc’s.
The previous owner passed away and the car was purchased from a family member who didn’t know much about it. The chassis is in original condition and has no rust suggesting that the car spent most of its life in a southern climate without snow and road salt. It is believed that the car was restored in about 1985 and the body was painted at that time. The interior also received new seat covers. These covers were installed on top of the original foam and seat covers (when I replaced the foam in 1998, the original seat covers confirmed the black interior). The car was purchased by the previous owner in 1994 and a significant amount of drive train work and cosmetic work was done. The wheels and axles were changed to accommodate 60 spoke chrome wire wheels. Email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
