1958\u21921960 MG A Twin-Cam<\/h1>\n

In 1958 BMC produced a high performance version of the MGA called the twin-cam. This used a new aluminum cylinder head on the B-Series engine to produce 108 bhp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with the DOHC setup, BMC also fitted Dunlop disc brakes and Dunlop steel wheels.<\/p>\n

All the twin-cams are easily identified by their Twin-Cam logo near the side vents.<\/p>\n

Due to detonation, the compression ratio was dropped from 9.9:1 to 8.3:1 on the later cars.<\/p>\n
