Vehicle description
Driven sparingly in good weather, the car is stored in a climate-controlled garage when not in use. A tan convertible top is fitted. Originally black, the interior was changed to dark red during the refurbishment. A Bluemel’s Brooklands steering wheel replaces the original, and factory options include competition seats, a heater, and windscreen washer. A set of restored Competition Deluxe seats was installed along with door pocket covers to match the leather dash equipped on Twin Cam cars. Matching red carpeting is protected by fitted MG floor mats. Lights and switches are in great working condition. A replacement set of black vinyl side curtains is included in the sale. The trunk contains a period gas can along with a factory-style tool roll and knock-off accessories. Equipped solely for the MGA Twin Cam, the 1,588cc inline-four used an aluminum DOHC crossflow cylinder head and twin SU carburetors to produce a factory rating of over 100 horsepower, a considerable boost over the earlier single-cam version. A single 12-volt battery replaces the original dual 6-volt system, and an upgraded electronic ignition supplies period braided plug wires. Shifting is from a 4-speed manual transmission. Underside photos show the condition of the floors, chassis, and drivetrain, as well as modifications including a performance exhaust and polyurethane A-arm bushings. The owner’s manuals along with shop manuals and period literature will come along with the car.
