Ugh. I used to own a '59 MGA. It was love at first site. Bought it for
$2,500 off a used car lot in L.A. two years after I sold my first Spitfire.
The MGA was straight and clean with a new interior, rebuilt engine and
transmission. I spent $1,000 on body prep and white paint and sold it a
year later -- under duress -- for $3,500. The car was perfect. Did I
mention that this was 20 years ago? I must admit to a certain fascination
with a 1960 MGA currently for sale with a busted motor for $3,200. But I
just can't bring myself to contend with another "project". Especially since
I wouldn't have garage space available for it. It amazes me how much MGA's
have appreciated in value. Willow weep for me.
