MGA
1500 & 1600
Model reviews and information
Launched in 1955, the MGA 1500 was a modern sports car with
smooth flowing bodywork and "B" series engine developing
68bhp, available in Roadster and, from September 1956, Fixed
Head Coupe versions. From 1959 the MGA 1600 with 79.5bhp provided
a useful 17% increase in power which was improved later with
the 1600 MkII and Deluxe 1600 MkII with 90bhp, just under 32%
more power than the 1500. At the demise of the Twin Cam, the
De Luxe became available although never advertised as such.
Originally using the 1600 engine in a Twin Cam chassis, it gained
the larger MkII engine when that car was launched. For an outline
of these models see the facts sheet. MGA

was a modern sports car with smooth flowing bodywork, available

lock wheels with all round Dunlop disc brakes and was significantly
