1955 was a year of many changes, Coca-Cola had decided to start
selling their product in cans, McDonalds opened their first
location, and the first commercial TV station ran in the United
Kingdom. MG also had substantial changes with the creation of the
MG-A. This body style was dramatically different than the earlier
model and being the first of an all new body style they used the
letter "A" to signify the start of a new line of cars. This Mark II
was produced in the last year of this body style and had different
features from the earlier years. This car features the bigger
1622cc four cylinder engine producing 90 brake horsepower compared
to the 1588cc previously. The carburetors and engine on this
roadster were completely rebuilt and backed up by a 4 speed manual
transmission that shifts smoothly. The red vinyl interior is also
newer and contrasts nicely with the white exterior and the
reupholstered black top. Connecting the car to the road is a set of
wire wheels that fit the style of this vehicle wonderfully with
authentic knock-offs. Another unique feature that still works on
this car is the tube AM radio that has a very vintage sound and
makes the experience of driving a 50's car that much more
enjoyable. This car has the classic British roadster look but for a
reasonable price compared to some others in the same market, and
can tear up those curvy back country roads in style just as well
too. Check this car out at Gatewayclassiccars.com. We have 100+ HD
