STORY

The MGA arrived in 1955 as an all-new sports car. It replaced the T-series, which came from before the war, with smooth, aerodynamic bodywork that changed MG's image. More than 100,000 were built, most of them exported to the United States, which made it very important for the company's sales. The rare Twin Cam version had a more powerful, higher-revving engine for enthusiasts.
