Isn't the real solution to make the MGA's use real MGA engines, gearbox,
etc? Someone has missed the point of "vintage" here. An MGA is not
supposed to be an MGB with a curvier body. I fully realize there are safety
implications on some parts (e.g. king pins), that's different. But an MGA
with 1800 cc, overdrive gearbox, and 14" wheels isn't an MGA any more.
I hope your vintage club reconsiders its rules, and mission.
Respectfully,
Mark Palmer
