[Mgs] unusual MGA

[Dan DiBiase]

Beautiful car! I like the black knock-off wheels, gives it a '50's hot rod look that matches it's (assumed) performance. Very tastefully
done. But there IS some patina on the car - overspray on the engine number plate! ;-)

Subject: [Mgs] unusual MGA

A friend of mine alerted me to an MGA which is presently on eBay.  It was 
on display at the Woodland British Car Show a few months ago.  It is an 
unusual specimen.  However, something did get lost in the transition to 
modern, fast, and reliable- it's overdone.  No patina on this one.  I 
wonder if it will hit $100k.  It really needs silver coloured wheels; the 
black wheels really detract given the car's black body.  The level of 
quality is very very high.  It will not be in California much longer; will 
it end up in Switzerland or Dubai?  Personally, I prefer one that has two 
six-volt batteries, period-correct mirrors on the wings, period radio, but 
those items are not expensive to add to the car.

He and I both noticed the car at the show and commented on it at the 
time.  My friend's comment:  "..  I  note that super nice MK2 deluxe that 
was at the Woodland meet is up on ebay .. I've NEVER seen another that nice 
.. must have cost a fortune to restore ... cheers".
