In 1961 and 1962, MG produced a several hundred 'special' MGA 1600 Mk. II's. These cars were built on the same chassis as the MGA Twin Cam (adding 4 wheel disk brakes to the normal Mk. II configuration). They were probably produced to empty the 'parts bins' of remaining MGA Twin Cam chassis bits prior to the introduction of the MGB. In fact, 42% of them were produced in the last 10 weeks of MGA production. Regardless of the reason, the use of brakes identical to those used on the Jaguar E-Type resulted in a wonderful version of the MGA. |
