Book Description
With their strong mechanical elements, solid construction and useful performance, few classic British sports cars are quite so practical to own today as the MGAs built from 1955 to 1962. The aim of this book is to show, in words and pictures, how MGAs altered in detail through the course of production, in order to enable owners, enthusiasts and prospective purchasers to identify the parts, finishes and equipment that are correct for their car. Color photography of outstanding specimens shows every permutation of MGA specification in remarkable detail.

Best book ever written about MGA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Original MGA: The Restorer's Guide to All Roadster and Coupe Models Including Twin Cam (Hardcover)
The perfect restorers guide. It's hard to find something about originality which isn't noted in this book. A ,must, for the purist ! With this book and a part catalogue, you are able to finish the perfect restoration.

This review is from: Original MGA: The Restorer's Guide to All Roadster and Coupe Models Including Twin Cam (Hardcover)
You should always start with the workshop manual, as a practical guide to all the technical stuff. But this is the next book if you are starting from a pile of bits. It will show you what the final result should look like. It contains many good tips, and its attention to detail is terrific. This book and the workshop manual, and a good parts catalogue (with the exploded drawings) are all you will ever need.

This review is from: Original MGA: The Restorer's Guide to All Roadster and Coupe Models Including Twin Cam (Original Series) (Hardcover)
All three of Clausager's MG guides are superior works in their details. If you own or want to own an MG, this is a must have addition to your automotive library.
