Description
The MG Twin Cam is a classic sports car that was introduced by the British car manufacturer in 1958. It was produced until 1960 and is considered one of the iconic models in MG’s lineup.
The Twin Cam was powered by an advanced 1.6-liter inline-four engine that featured double overhead camshafts – a groundbreaking technology at the time. This engine was developed by BMC (British Motor Corporation) and produced an impressive 108hp, making it one of the most powerful engines in its class.
The performance of the MG Twin Cam was further enhanced by its lightweight design and sporty suspension setup. It had a top speed of around 110 mph (177 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 9.5 seconds. These figures made it one of the fastest sports cars of its time. The styling of the Twin Cam was typical of MG’s design language during the 1950s and 1960s. It had a sleek and aerodynamic body shape, featuring a long bonnet, rounded headlights, and a minimalist interior.
This example that we have on offer presents well and is finished in a lovely white over red leather interior, with 6607km indicated. Don’t miss out on this beauty for the summer season, as its not often that the Twin-Cam variant comes along.
