Cost and questionable interior aside, I really like this

I liked MGAs until I sat in one, extremely cramped. I imagine that with a V8 in there the driver has very limited foot room, I notice all the interior pics are of the passenger side - nice all the same.

In original guise the left hand side of the MGA is more cramped than the right hand side, the transmission tunnel extends further into the LH footwell, odd given the majority were made as left hookers for the North American market Shocked

Thanks for the clarification Dave. Even if I had enough room for my size 9s, I felt very cramped in there - not a lot of shoulder and head room for us big 'uns.

The Coupe always looks a cramped car.

The one to go for is the MK11 Roadster.

I am 5ft 11inches and not of slight build (not fat) and I find my Roadster a very comfortable car.
I have driven it all day long and get out feeling OK,like a spring lamb. Very Happy

I would rather have an MGA than a Midget,MGB or Alpine.

A true 1950`s sportscar that everyone seems to like anywhere we go in it here or abroad.




Yes it is left hand drive...Alabama import.
