MG MGA Roadster Twin Cam — 1958

The current owner purchased the car in 1962. It was garaged for many years after the enthusiastic use of the first years, so long that it even fell out of the car register. Now that it has been inspected, it is ready to go.

"A rare classic sports car in great condition."

Description

This MGA Twin Cam was purchased by the current owner in Stockholm in 1962, when it was only four years old, and is one of 1801 copies made worldwide. It was used as a daily driver for the first few years, but it has only been used for pleasure drives in the immediate vicinity for the past 40 years. The body and paint are in great condition and have been renovated over the years by the owner, who has owned several MGA cars, both Twin Cam and others.
A more in-depth look at this can be found in Klassiker magazine 5/21.
The car has been serviced and inspected recently, so it is exempt from inspection/MOT.

Facts about the model

MGA är den första MG i sportvagnsserien som inte hade utanpåliggande skärmar utan mer en pontonliknande kaross. MG har i huvudsak tillverkat billiga och enkla sportbilar för folket även om undantag finns. Motorn i MGA är en såkallad BMC-B motor som även återfanns i några andra modeller av BMC. Den första modellen som kom 1955 hade en 1500 cc motor på runt 70 hästkrafter.
Sommaren 1958 presenterades den med spänning emotsedda MGA Twin Cam. Motorn var nu på nära 1600 cc och hade dubbla överliggande kamaxlar. Hästkraftsantalet hade nu stigit till hela 110 hk vid 6 700 varv/minut. Den nya motorn fick snart rykte om sig att vara skör och att lätt bränna kolvar. Fabriken fick ingen riktig ordning på problemet och modellen lades ned sommaren 1960. På senare tid har man löst problemen så de flesta motorerna är nu åtgärdade. Twin-Cam fick tåligare tallriksfälgar samt Dunlop skivbromsar runt om. Det behövdes när samtida källor uppgav att man kunde nå 180 km/h.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
