The MGA is a British sports car that was produced by MG from 1955 through July of 1962. Of the MGA model years, the 1962 MGA MK II was the most improved model. The Mark II was sporty and fast with an increased engine size to 1622 cc producing 90 hp and a top speed over 100 mph. The cylinder head was also revised with larger valves and redesigned combustion chambers. It also had a faster over the road gear ratio of 4:10, which was much better suited for higher speeds and highway driving. Visual changes included an inset grille and revised taillights. The MK II was the final iteration of the MGA, and it remains a desirable model among collectors today. This 1962 MK II was purchased in 1969 by the current owner in the Washington DC area. It was on the road for 10 years, including 4 years at Kansas State University from 1970-74. The car underwent a complete body off frame restoration in 2023 by the same owner that has taken care of it for the past 55 years.
