ABOUT
The MGA was the first British sports car to sell more than
100,000 units - and more than 80 per cent of the production went to
North America. The streamlined MGA - the first production MG capable
of topping 100mph - was a big departure from the upright midgets
which the factory had produced since the 1930s and was a huge
international success. In this text the author has gone back to
factory records and to the people who worked on the car in the
1950s, to find out how it was conceived, manufactured and marketed.
It describes MGA's engineering, body styling and every aspect of the
car's development and production - including MG's strategy to beat
its competitors. In seven years of production, there were major
successes and disappointments. The MGA was the car that was "right
first time" and though the Twin Cam variant was troublesome for the
factory, it is now the most sought after model. This text tells how
the sleepy Thames-side village of Abingdon became a mass-production
centre for MGA, how the MGA became one of America's best-loved
sports cars and how the MGA has become one of today's classic cars.
