Iain,were you given those jet settings I phoned through?
Martin,cut out the middle man,Iain has my number.
As Zef just said,it is an earlier version of the B and most of the Mods for the B work on the Magnette.Dont try doing what the works did for Nancy Mitchell and bolt on all ally panels!.You will need to loose as much weight as possible,then you could start on the car. 1622 will respond to a 60thou bore,decent Burgess Head/Cam but you are stuck with twin 1 3/4 SUs.
1.5 Deg Neg on the front along with 660lb lowered springs,3/4in ARB,decent uprated shockers with some Rock Oil in them.
Rear end will need springs re-tempered with the same treatment to the shockers. See you in it at the Six Hour?
Not really sure but I think there was one works car with an MGA twink in it,I doubt as to it ever being homologated though. Welcome to the 'Empty Pocket Club'.
