Description
MG MGA Twin Cam Roadster, 1958 — 81st of 2, 111 examples built.
Accompanied by its BMIHT factory certificate, registered in the owner's name.
MG produced the Twin Cam for only two years. Twin overhead camshafts, Dunlop disc brakes on all four wheels, Dunlop steel wheels with centre-lock fixings — the same as those on Jaguar race cars. On a production car in 1958, this is a genuine sports car specification sheet, and it's what still sets a Twin Cam apart from all other MGAs today.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate attests to its configuration as it left the factory: built in Abingdon-on-Thames between 2 and 11 September 1958, dispatched on 17 September 1958, export version, left-hand drive. This document accompanies the car.
108 bhp for 916 kilos. Four well-spaced ratios, brisk acceleration, and a car that climbs an Alpine pass without ever seeming to strain. Two seats, two boots including one with a luggage rack, hood and tonneau cover. Built for weekend getaways.
It has been in Switzerland since at least 2012, regularly maintained, with veteran vehicle status and an inspection dated 24 August 2023.
COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY
The car has been repainted during its history. The factory register indicates Old English White with red interior; it is presented today in green with black interior. The hood and wheels conform to the register. The certificate is handed to the buyer: no surprises possible. Everything in our valuation file is disclosed before viewing.
