Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der MGA ersetzte den TF 1500 und stellte einen völligen Bruch mit der Form seines Vorgängers dar. Der Wagen wurde offiziell auf der IAA in Frankfurt 1955 vorgestellt. Nachfolgemodell war im Juli 1962 der MGB. Bis dahin hatte BMC 101.081 MGA verkauft, die meisten davon im Export; nur 5869 blieben in Großbritannien. Dies ist die höchste Exportrate (94,2 %) eines britischen Autos. Der MGA wurde vorwiegend als Roadster, aber auch als Coupé hergestellt. Mit allen Motorvarianten entstanden insgesamt 9887 Coupés, die sich neben dem Coupédach durch veränderte Türen mit Kurbelfenstern und außen liegenden Türöffnern von den Roadstern unterschieden. Die Heckscheibe war dreigeteilt. Die Konstruktion geht auf das Jahr 1952 zurück, als der Hausdesigner von MG, Syd Enever, eine stromlinienförmige Karosserie für George Philips’ TD für Le Mans entwarf. Das Problem dieses Autos war die hohe Sitzposition des Fahrers, die in den Eigenschaften des TD-Fahrwerks begründet war. Man konstruierte ein neues Fahrwerk mit weiter auseinander liegenden Längsträgern und einem Fahrzeugboden, der unter den Rahmenträgern anstatt auf ihnen befestigt war. Es wurde ein Prototyp gebaut und dem Direktor von BMC, Leonard Lord, vorgestellt. Lord aber lehnte die Serienproduktion dieses Autos ab, da er gerade zwei Wochen zuvor einen Vertrag mit Donald Healey zur Herstellung der Austin-Healey-Autos unterschrieben hatte. Sinkende Verkaufszahlen für die traditionellen MG-Fahrzeuge bewirkten jedoch einen Sinneswandel, und so kam die Konstruktion, ursprünglich „Serie UA“ genannt, wieder in Betracht. Da sie sich stark von den bisherigen MG-Modellen unterschied, wurde sie „MGA“ genannt, d. h., der Wagen galt als erstes Auto einer neuen Reihe, wie es eine zeitgenössische Werbung darstellte. Es gab auch statt des alten XPAG-Motors einen aus der neuen BMC-B-Serie, der eine flachere Motorhaube ermöglichte. LG Tom
