There is a MGA (62 I think) for sale here in San Diego at a local classic
car dealer. Asking price is $7,995. They just finished rebuilding the
engine and the body is is reasonalbe shape. You can visit their web page
at: http://www.vipclassics.com (the MGA doesn't show on the page, but they
have it in the basement).
