1959 MGA Twin Cam
Must Sell; please make an offer.I fell in love with British Sports Cars back in 1968, and I
absolutely love this car! It’s a Red on
Red, MGA Twin Cam with 108 hp from a stunningly beautiful 1588 cc, Twin
Overhead Cam Engine, kept immaculately clean throughout. This is a Level One (1), award winning Car
that has the perfect balance between weight and power. Coupled with tight, responsive rack &
pinion steering and four wheel disk brakes, it is a dashing experience. The
seating posture is just right, and the windscreen is proportioned and
positioned accurately to provide a thrilling, yet comfortable and fun ride.
Developed from MG’s racing heritage and in response to its
counterparts in racing, only 2, 111 Twin Cams were produced. Today, a Twin Cam
commands a significant premium among collectors, due to their rarity and
significant boost in performance over the standard MGA and other competitors.
This is a stunning, properly restored and well sorted
example, finished in dark red with red leather interior, dashboard, cockpit
rails and black top. The car also features side curtains, tonneau cover, correct Dunlop center lock knock-off wheels, proper jack and period vintage
tool roll. Every effort has been made to keep this car as an original example, with superb restoration, throughout.
Early on, MGA Twin Cams gained a reputation for mechanical
fragility. Today, those issues have been resolved. When properly set-up, as is
this car, Twin Cams are the reliable and exhilarating driving experience for
which they were designed.
This testament comes from decades of driving experience in
various British Sports Cars. This one is
the most fun … hands down!
