- Don't know about a collapsible spare, but the 'compact' spare from many modern cars works pretty good. ISTR the size is something like T125/80-15, used on big Volvos and Nissan Maximas, among others

- You could do what I did. I went to a wheel shop. I had them weld a spline drive hub to a center, which they welded to a space saver rim; I also had them change the offset. Yes, it was expensive. What

- Not sure what options you have on an MGA, but in my TR6 I use a TR3 wheel as a compact spare. The bolt pattern is the same but the rim is narrow and the tire is smaller so I save some weight and I ha
