1959 MGA Twin Cam Roadster For Sale

The high-performance twin cam model of the MGA was added to the range in 1958. Available in both fixedhead and roadster versions. The new model could be visually identified by the fitment of knock on Dunlop wheels and scuttle mounted ‘Twin Cam’ badges. The new engine boasted a cross flow cylinder head in aluminium alloy, larger SU carburettors and twin chain driven overhead camshafts, whilst the displacement was increased to 1588cc. The Twin Cam engine boasted 108bhp and could propel the car onto 113mph. To cope with the increased performance the car was fitted with Dunlop disc brakes all round.
