    MG had enjoyed plenty of success with its T-Type Midget, America in particular loving the diminutive British roadster. Following a stunning restyle of a TD for Le Mans, MG boss Leonard Lord gave the OK to an all-new MG sports car for the 1950s, the MGA! Does it live up to its gorgeous styling, is it a classic sports car that's still fun to drive today? Joe took a twin-cam coupe for a drive to find out!

    Still one of the nicest and smoothest manual gearboxes of any car I have ever driven. The MGA is an absolute ripper

    My grandmother had one of these in the 60s.
    If only, if only it was kept😢

    The MGA is such a pretty little car❤, much more attractive than the B.

    I have an MGA Twin Cam coupe and an MGA MKII DeLuxe. To say I agree with you is a short saying.

    Very nice little car. But on the point of MG being back, it's a bit of a stretch. Some many important companies of the past, such as RCA, are just a brand name today, even if it was of of great importance in the invention of things like color television. But now, you can buy a RCA TV; it's only a Chinese TV with RCA written on it, nothing else. I fear it's the same for MG.

    Always loved MGA's. My dad had two, unfortunately before I was born. A black coupé with grey roof and a red roadster. One day I'm going to treat myself to one. The Portuguese tax system is not very favourable for US imports though (they tax anything not originally delivered in an EU country as a new car) and you'll pay through your nose for a good EU example. I found a rare LHD Rover P5B Coupe instead, which is something completely different, but hardly punishment.

    MG today would be rather stupid to not start bring out small, affordable EVs from MG3 to the MG1, hopefully sn MGA, MGB or MG Modget to suit.
