It was very nice here yesterday. The wife an I took the MGA out for a drive. Went out to eat. It was pretty cold on the way home. It's back in storage again. There talking rain and maybe snow tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That's ok I really don't need anymore distractions for the 918-S project.
Here's a picture from last year. BTW: it's for sale! Attached image(s)

I purchased it in California, only here for 4 years. fresh 1967 5 main 1800 from an MGB. Not a dime less than $10,000.00 It's not perfect but it's a driver.

Rich,
Nice to see another lover of MGA's on the board. I've had mine out a couple of times for some VERY short trips. Still too cold but hey we're getting there. My MGA is definitley my first love (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Looks like a nice one. BTW 10K is a good price for an "A" from the west coast that needs no work. You'll sell it pretty quickly I imagine. |

Hi Rich,
Finally got my '60 down to the frame to start over. Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I can refab the front frame to shoehorn a 3.8 Jag into it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I want something with triple Webers! Following your 928/914 project; looking good! Regards, Rich Brennick/ Michigan |

That's a sweet looking ride. My first car was an MGA. Had to borrow the $300 from the Navy credit union to buy it and on a seaman's pay I was paying for it long after it had left me stranded in Palm Springs with a rod knock. I got just enough for it for a plane ticket home to Phoenix. I always remember the wind-up turn signals - one of the parts I replaced as part of making it "roadworthy". In spite of the experience, I still have warm thoughts whenever I see an "A" .
