A true measure of British post-war success, the MGA was often known as the right car for the right time.

With much of the production being exported, particularly to American markets, its agility, performance and perfectly weighted driving manners won it many friends.

The MGA was an astonishingly modern piece of design for the era, building its reputation on well-proven mechanical simplicity.

Just 6,000 of the 100,000 or so cars built were retained for the UK market, making genuine home market, RHD cars fairly hard to come by.

UK models are difficult to find at all nowadays, and with this being a Twin Cam, numbers are even smaller: ~2,111 were produced in Coupe and Roadster form.

Just ~323 were Coupes, making this a very rare car indeed.

The example has been owned and restored by John since 2007.

The desirable MGA Twin Cam comes to the market as a reluctant sale: it's unfortunately not getting the use it deserves.
