The MGA truly marked a revolution in MG sports car design. It broke with
time-honoured tradition that had serviced the majority of MG sports cars
for well over thirty years. The MGA truly marked a revolution in MG
sports car design, with its appearance quite unlike any previous
production car from the celebrated British marque. Entering production
in the summer of 1955, it broke with the time-honoured tradition of
narrow-gutted, flat-sides, upright styling, with the distinctive large
grille, exposed headlamps, separate wings and sharply cut-off tail that
had serviced the majority of MG sports cars for well over thirty years.
Many die-hard MG enthusiasts of the time were understandably outraged,
but the decision to break with tradition proved to be a good one: over
