Competition history. The MGA's bodywork was based largely on that
of a one-off MG TD specially built by the MG factory at the request
of racing privateer George Phillips for the nbsp;1951 24 Hours of
Le Mans. Later, a new chassis was designed so as to seat the driver
lower in the car with even cleaner bodywork resulting in the EX 175
prototype.. The later MG prototype EX 182 was very close to the
final production MGA and was the car actually raced at Le Mans in
1955. Three MGA prototypes were entered at nbsp;Le Mans nbsp;in
1955. Two of the cars finished the race placing 12th and 17th
overall, proving the worth of the new car. The third car crashed
with serious injuries to the driver, Dick Jacobs.. The MGA has been
raced extensively in the U.S. since its 1955 introduction and with
considerable success. In nbsp;Sports Car Club of America
nbsp;competition the MGA has won numerous regional and national
championships. It has also been a favourite choice of those
competing in nbsp;vintage racing. Kent Prather has been the most
successful American MGA driver to date with G Production wins at
the SCCA national championships in 1986, 1990, 1995, 2002, 2003,
and 2005. Prather and his MGA accomplished this despite the fact
that his MGA was often the oldest vehicle competing among several
hundred race cars at the SCCA Runoffs.. Current Hagerty's Value. .
