A new M.G. 1-litre open two-seater sports model will be shown the public for the first time when the International Motor Show opens on October 19 at Earls Court, London. To be known as the MGA, the car, pictured above, will' retail at £595 (before purchase tax). Its top speed will be over 90 m.p.h.
The chassis frame is substantially the same as the Le Mans prototypes, in turn developed from that used in Captain George Eyston's M.G. car which last year captured a number of international and national class records at Salt Flats, Utah, U.S.A. The car has been designed with an eye for suitability in competition work in the up to 1500 e.c. class.
The engine is a twin-carburettor M.G. version of the B.M.C. "B" Series unit (1489 c.c.) and drives through an hydraulically operated eight-in clutch and, four-speed synchromesh gearbox. Daily Express Picture.
