[Mgs] MGA owners?

[Howard Battan]

Hi Dan. Yes, I've got an A. It's a 1957 (according to the title and 
registration) that I have had since 1975.  I used it as a daily driver for 
years. I cleaned it up and resprayed it (red, of course) an about 1983 or 
so. Right now its out in the shop for a more thorough refurbishing to get 
rid of the rusty bits and to repaint. Engine (a 1600) and transmission have 
both been overhauled by a professional in Tacoma, WA.

The interesting thing about this car is that it has the Dunlop disk brakes 
and Twin Cam pegged knock-off wheels. I didn't realize this at the time I 
bought it, but I sure do like the disk brakes!

I'm hoping to get it back on the road by this summer/fall. In the meantime I 
have a '79 B and a '54 1250 TF to drive.

I'm sure you'll get lots of responses from other A-owners, too . I know 
there are a lot of them on this list.
