Two Special Specials

MGA-Special-1Roger Ainsworth was inspired to build his own version of an "MGA special" after seeing a very impressive display of specials at Silverstone. He had some ideas about what he liked about 1950's sport cars and began to put them into a body shell design which would go onto an MGA chassis. The running gear and engine are MGB. There is a special petrol tank, LeMans replica seats, aluminium interior, Twin Cam replica wheels, special Perspex windscreen and side exit exhaust. Roger's other car is a replica of MGA EX182, the LeMans works entry for 1955. That one has been featured in “Enjoying MG” in 1993. Roger hasn’t raced his "MGA specials", but his next project will be a Six Speed Twin Cam for the track.
