MG MGA - Mga wheels

Hello - I'm just visiting from the "B" and Magnette site. My question is:Spare mga twin cam chassis where sent out as deluxe 1600s (I think) and had solid wheels with 15 holes and spinners - was there an option of twelve holes and spinners? - where spinners an MGA wheel option? In otherwords would an MGA with spinners on solid wheels necessarily be a deluxe model?Hope you understand me!Thanks Brian

MGA whhels that have a splines centre and a knock off were fitted to both Twin Cams and Deluxe models. The Deluxe is often described as a TwinCam with a push rod engine and nasty rear lights (I'm going to get heat for that last comment!). If it has rear lights below the bootlid, it's a deluxe.

correction - no splines - just read the link for the correct answer

Hi Dominic - were deluxe only available with the '61-'62 MkII body ( and "nasty" lights) - or were some built on the MkI body ('59-'61)with "nice" lights? Cheers Cam

Hi - according to A D CLAUSAGER there were 82 mk1's, with 'nice' lights, all deluxe's had peg drive wheels and dunlop brakes. Total deluxe production was 395. Anybody know of a deluxe coupe for sale ?

My 1962 DeLuxe has those "nasty" tail lights and a different grille, but having 4 wheel disc brakes makes it worth it.

Terry - There is a fellow here in the states that has one in his private collection, RHD, but I don't know if it is for sale. He also have a boat load of T-series parts and a nice collection of MGA NOS and original stuff. I have a copy of his business card on my email file and his email address is MMMGTCARS@yahoo. com (close up the com). Contact me direct and I will send you his card via email if you want it. Spanner
