History of the 1956 - 1962 MG MGA:
Introduced for the 1956 model year, the MGA roadster replaced the aging T-Series cars. Powered by a 68 horsepower 1, 489cc overhead valve engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a solid rear axle with leaf springs. Braking was by hydraulic drums at all corners.
Sales in the first full year (1956) were 13, 394 and rose to 16, 467 for 1957, by which time horsepower was up to 72 horsepower, and a coupe was added. In 1959, the MGA 1600 was introduced with a larger 79. 5 horsepower engine and front disc brakes. The MGA final iteration was the 1600 Mk II, with a 90 horsepower 1, 622cc engine and minor styling changes.
MGAs are ideal first collector cars. They are affordable, simple to work on, rugged, and attractive. Parts are readily available and moderately priced.
