Wonderful video and story Sir! 57 years ago, At the age of 15, my first car was a 1957 black MGA 1500 cc, and I must say that even back then it was a huge chick magnet. Once the starter went bad and a girl offered to push start it just for a spin in it. I have always regretted selling it.
Brings back wonderful memories of my TwinCam in my Graduate School days. It was colored British Racing Green, which looked Blue to me. ' Wish I had never given it up for Grad School.
Dear BTM, you make beautiful videos but could you consider putting out two versions of every video you do please? One with the funky music you obviously like. The other without. Thanks.
The 10:53 gear smash into the non synchronized 1st was a bit saddening. I’ve owned 22 MGA twin cams they’re interesting cars but as you mentioned it’s not easy to work on the accessories. Thanks for the video nice car
I had the same thoughts. Here's another one: he's got vented damper caps on the carbs. Didn't they use "dustless" suction chambers on the early cars? Makes me wonder whether he's running super rich...
The twin cams were very troublesome hence the low number MG should ha e Sep t more time on the development of the engine but they give great preformce but at acost
Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one single station per city or county...allmost same story with the USA (califorina banns combustion cars from 2027 on and stops selling fuel...)

Edward Vandyk is my grandfather and I have seen many a classic mg with him and have fallen in love with these twin cams

Bless you!
Nice car! Well kept. But does it sound any good? Can’t tell with this horrible music mixen in the background
How do you know when someone is rich? When you ask where to park and they say "Just park it next to the Concorde dear chap!"....

The MGA chassis is not based o the TF chassis. It has a TF style front suspension. Also the engine is based on a "B Series" not an A Series.

My MGA was definitely an A.
@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 "A" Series is a little 4 cylinder as used by MINI's and Healey Sprites. "B" Series is MGA and MGB. Google it :-)

Yes . But they could have taken the contemporary Alfa Romeo engine.

What’s your source for the USA ? I read that Washington state bans fossil fuel in 2030 and that’s the earliest in the USA ?
Nooooo e i cerchioni con rsggi? Negativo.
