Seems likely that an axle shaft broke. It'd be like trying to drive
with one wheel on ice.
Why not find a used rear end and swap either the one axle or the whole
rear end?
Wire wheel and disc wheel axles are different, BTW.
For lots of info about MGA's be sure to bookmark Barney Gaylord's web
page. Here's a link to info about rear axles:
