The MGA was launched in September 1955 and was the first all new sportscar from MG since 1936! It had been previewed at Le Mans 4 months earlier, where 3 cars had run as MG EX 182 prototypes. Based around a strong box section chassis frame and BMC's ubiquitous B series engine it was called the MGA because having just launched the Z type Magnette MG had, according to their then General Manager John Thornley, run out of alphabet! It was marked the beginning of a new chapter for MG and a successful one at that; for over 100,000 examples were sold during its 7 year life. Buy it now
