Maybe it's just in NH, but it does seem strange that such an underpowered car as the MGA (what, 68 hp?), "triumphs" in price over TR3's (at what, 100 hp?). Plus the TR3 has bug-eyes and more muscular swooping lines like a cheetah. <br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Not to belittle the MGA.
