Hi Dean,
With respect to worth, I'll quote from Dick Knudson's MG Buyer's Guide,
1983:
"Condition, of course, is the prime influence, and the prices on these
three saloons (the SA, VA, WA) really are not all that far apart from one
another. As a price guide, these cars seem to sell somwhere between TC's
and TD's.
"However, in strictly economic terms, the restoration of one of these,
especially the S and the W, is hard to justify. THe costs, particularly
if much professional work is required, are comparable to what one would
pay to do a Bentley/RR/Jaguar of that vintage. The value of the completed
car is just not there simply because it is an MG, not a
Bentley/RR/Jaguar. It is perhaps unfortunate but it is true and buyers
should be aware of this anomaly in the "cheap and cheerful" MG thinking."
But they are beautiful cars....
