Twinning: 41k-Mile 1960 MG MGA Twin Cam Roadster

Morris Garage was taken to a whole new level with the MGA, which offered sleek styling, modern interior, and a sporting elegance that made it an instant classic. Introduced in 1955, it was available as both a coupe or convertible, and proved desirable to both enthusiasts and people simply looking for a beautiful car that was fun to drive. With racing as a core interest at MG, making the MGA quicker and faster was always a priority, and the biggest step came by way of the twin cam head which boosts power and enables the car to compete more readily with the likes of Triumph, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and even Porsche, Jaguar, and Mercedes-Benz – maybe a stretch for the last three, but it could do it when pressed. Relatively expensive to develop and produce, the MGA Twin Cam was subsequently pricey from the showroom, too, which hampered sales. To boot, MG barely promoted the modified engine, so not many people outside of racing circles knew about the option. As such only 2,111 were built, and through the years, they became more and more interesting to collectors and enthusiasts, while today they’re a sort of pinnacle for MGs.

This one looks to be in fabulous condition and the paint and body appear stunning in that fantastic white over red livery. The color is classic MG, while the knock-off wheels and amber driving lights hint at the racing roots under the hood. Inside, the red upholstery contrasts nicely and looks absolutely terrific. The gauges inspire, the little gear knob begging to row through the transmission – the post says the car is pretty much without fault, running strong, shifting smoothly, and looking in absolutely perfect condition. Said to have been owned by a fastidious collector who insists on driving his cars frequently to keep them in running order, the MGA just might be one for the books.
