began in 1955 thru 1962, when it was replaced by the
MGB. The earlier MGA had a 1500 cc engine that
had 68 hp,the later models had the upgraded 72 hp.
The twin-cam version was launched in 1958 that had
DOHC aluminum cylinder version of the B-Series engine.
With a high compression ratio of 9.9:1 later it was replaced by a compression ratio of 8.8:1,with 108 hp.
These twin-cam cars were fitted with four Dunlop disc brakes. The top speed was 113 mp/h.
There is a sense of style when driving a
MGA over a MGB. Partly due to the Jaguar-like curves,
when the car was viewed from the side.
