Very cool. Now we need a comparable video for the 356 of the same era to compare the two.

Fond MG memories here. My deceased best buddy David had a '62 MGA. Alas, it had a short life. He stored it under his parent's carport when in the Army. His then 13 year old sister drive a 2 ton truck over it...

So I'm thinking "man, I would love to have one" and I looked up MGA on eBay... $10K for a beater and $40K for a concourse. Oh, and those are not twin cams... none listed.

That MGA video was so cool! Great camera work. I laughed out loud when the presenter talked about the car's safety and comfort. At least he didn't bring up reliability.

Thanks for posting this, brought back some great memories of my 58 MG-A. Drove it with my friend Bob from Glen Burnie, Md. to Daytona and Ft Lauderdale for Easter vacation in 1962. It was a great fun car remarkably reliable and great fun. A great crumpet collecter as well.
