Mike, I saw on your MGA project website, you said they only made the A for three years. Actually, they made it from '55 to '62, so 8 years inclusive.

Mine's a '57 which was the first year they shipped mass quantities to the US. It's a left-hand-drive, but could easily be converted back to right-hand-drive.

Over the years, they increased the engine sizes and upgraded the interior a bit, and changed the taillight configuration. They also introduced the "Twin-Cam" version which was the race-ready model, of which only a few have survived.
