In 1955, this film company produced a film titled &#8220;The Sports Car of the Year&#8221;, and the car was the MGA 1500 and MGA twin cam.<\/p>\n<p>This film starts out like a documentary with the \u201955 Le Mans race, but becomes a promotional item for the MGA towards the end. It includes the world record breaking car with Stirling Moss at the wheel. It is a wonderful film with some unique footage of the MGA. While it is almost 10 minutes in length, MGA enthusiasts will find it fascinating.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishpathe.com\/record.php?id=84424\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Watch the video on the British Path\u00e9 website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During World War Two, the British public and their allies relied on news reel coverage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history-of-the-mga-magnette"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42671\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
