It stands proud and wears the works BMC colours from the Abingdon days, this near 100 mph 1860 cc 1961 MGA is conscious of its heritage, and yet is still a great competitor in the current day on any of the events it runs in.

It has 105 bhp, a four speed gearbox with a fully strengthened axle and professionally built suspension, all contained within the elegant and slippery MGA body work. The profile of the MG is the classic shape that came from Le Mans in 1952.

Three MGAs were entered at Le Mans in 1955 finishing 12th and 17th place overall whilst the third car crashed injuring the driver Dick Jacobs. In its long competition life over race tracks and rally roads, the MGA kept notching up the results, especially in the USA where the Americans loved the MG. In the Sports Car Club of America national and regional championships, the MGA was the winner six times at national level. And a little known fact, the MGAs used in NASCAR racing from 1960-63!

There were numerous rally class awards at national and international level for the MGA as well. It was successful on the Monte Carlo Rally with Donald Morley in 1962 in an MGA Coupe and continues to be competitive on classic rallies to this day.

A well built 1961 rally car with great heritage, this car is ready for action with all the right equipment included for a competitive event. It is a car for all seasons, so the MGA would be equally happy on the mountain roads in the heat or the Yorkshire Dales at night in the cold.

A great driving experience with great looks, the MGA is ready to stir your imagination as you consider its motor sport history and prepare to drive the great MG brand.
