The MG division of The British Motor Corporation produced the MGA from 1955 to 1962. It served as a replacement for the older 'T-Type' cars and was a complete styling departure from the older vehicles. The A was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955. During its production lifespan, just 5,869 cars were sold on the home market, making the MGA the highest export percentage of any British car.
In May of 1962, the MGA was replaced by the MGB.
This 1956 MG A Coupe has a red exterior with black leather seater. There is a Banjo-style steering wheel, Jaeger instrumentation, steel wheels, chrome hubcaps, and a four-speed manual transmission. The car has an older restoration, and is powered by a 1489cc inline-4 cylinder engine.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2016
