The Syd Enever-designed MGA was a breath of fresh air for the Abingdon marque. Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show, it featured a separate chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and was powered by the 1489cc straight-four BMC B Series engine. 'YLT 38' is an original right-hand drive example of the MG A. Built at Abingdon during the week of 21st November 1958 and despatched to the distributor on 24th November 1958 with the following specification: MPH speedometer, 'disc wheels', Blue tonneau cover and adjustable steering column.
Present with the car is a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate which shows the car was originally finished in Ash Green with a Grey interior and Blue soft top. Today, the car wears Glacier Blue paintwork following restoration work which included bodywork and a repaint. The interior of 'YLT 38' has been retrimmed in Black with a Light Blue piping and benefitted from a new soft top in Grey, supplied by Prestige Autotrim. The history file contains many photographs showing the level of the restoration work completed upon 'YLT 38' plus many receipts and historical documentation, amongst the many invoices are those for parts from Moss Motors Ltd, and MGOC Spares Ltd.
