MG MGA

In the space of a few months during the 1950s. MG transformed itself from a brand trapped in the past to market leader in the realm of affordable sports cars.

The MGA was so different from previous T Series that the company was nervous about its effect on conservative markets like the United States. They had no need to stress.

Of the 100,000 As built during the ensuing five years, more than 80 percent were exported and most were bought by US-based enthusiasts. That still left plenty for UK and Colonial sales from which Australia’s stock of cars has largely come.
