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!
