MG MGA Submodels
Introduced in 1955, the MGA was a complete design revolution for MG. It replaced the traditional T-Type roadsters with a modern, streamlined body wrapped around a rigid chassis. Power initially came from a 1489cc B-Series 4-cylinder engine, which was later upgraded to 1588cc and 1622cc variants. A sophisticated Twin Cam model was also offered, though it proved complex and fragile.
The MGA's beautiful design makes it one of the most beloved British sports cars of its era. Collectors appreciate its pure, analog driving experience and strong parts availability, which makes ownership relatively straightforward. While the standard 1500 and 1600 roadsters are the most common, the fixed-head coupe, high-performance Twin Cam, and rare "Deluxe" models are especially prized.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Thoroughly inspect the chassis outriggers, sills, floorboards, and the area around the battery trays. Body-on-frame construction means chassis integrity is paramount.
- Check for poor panel gaps, especially around the doors, bonnet, and boot lid. These panels are aluminum and can be difficult and expensive to repair correctly if damaged.
- The B-Series engine is robust, but look for signs of blue smoke, indicating worn piston rings or valve seals. Check for low oil pressure when warm and listen for any unusual noises.
- The complex Twin Cam engine is known for its issues and is extremely expensive to rebuild. If you're considering a Twin Cam, a specialist inspection is essential.
