A restored MGA chassis that has been unveiled in Gaydon will give enthusiasts a glimpse under the skin of a sough-after British classic.
Just 300 MGA Twin Cam Coupés were built and the 1958 example on display has been subject to a seven-month, painstaking restoration thanks to a team of 25 dedicated volunteers.
It is believed to have featured at either the Earls Court or New York Motor Shows as a complete car, before being sectioned and painted in an array of colours as a technical demonstration.
The team’s next projects include rebuilding a Rover gas turbine, which was used to train students, and refurbishing a 1960 Standard Ensign. The latter was the last model to roll off the production line at Canley prior to the Standard marque’s disappearance in 1963.
