  Inspired by George Phillips' MG TD-based 1951 Le Mans special and

  refined by Sydney Enever and his design team, the MGA debuted in

  September 1955 as a radical departure for MG. The desire for a

  competition-oriented model spurred development of the MGA Twin-Cam,

  released for sale in early 1958. A significant performance leap,

  the 1,600 cc twin-cam engine delivered top speeds in excess of 110

  mph, matched by improved gearbox ratios, a higher final drive,

  Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes, and strong yet lightweight disc-type

  "knock-off" wheels. Only 2,111 Twin-Cam MGA's were built through

  early 1960, and the model remains one of the most coveted and

  satisfying British sports cars produced.

  According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust

  Certificate, this 1959 MGA Twin-Cam Roadster is an original

  left-hand-drive export model was completed late October 1958, and

  later purchased and titled as a 1960. Factory equipment included

  Dunlop center-lock disc wheels; Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes,

  heater, and black tonneau cover: finished in Orient Red over black

  upholstery - the colors and equipment it displays today.

  YD3/754 would receive an extensive nut-and-bolt concours

  restoration by Twin-Cam specialist Jim Alcorn's Auto Vintagery of

  La Jolla, California. Amongst the absolute finest MGs we have ever

  offered, limited mileage been traveled since completion of the

  work, while the Twin-Cam has enjoyed fastidious care and proper

  for immediate enjoyment at nearly any vintage automotive event.

  One of the finest examples we have seen!
