MG MGA - one to look at

Hi all, now this one is worth a look but I bet it will be expensive but it looks very correct, proper water hose clips, correct colour radio blanking plate, looks like an original washer bottle as well

looks like it could do with a more correct front bumper from Anglo Parts and I think I could get the doors fitting a bit better but minor points

Gordon, Doesn't seem to have pale blue piping on the seats,etc. mike

Come on Gordon, detail! Wire hose clips, but new repro thinner wire and different bolts! Also the heater pipe clips should be bands not wire. Water bottle appears to have Tudor sticker, but it may have been stuck on the original bottle!

Yes it's a very nice car, and from the pictures looks to have been well restored. Not concours but possibly A1 and very useable, what most people seem to want. I bet it is advertised for much more than the 15,000 that the price guide (Practical Classics) says.

According to Clausager (yes, I've got one, paid about £19 for it) Iris Blue was a 1600 colour not a 1500 colour, but I don't think it would bother me much if it were my car!

Hi GTF not quite sure which bit you are querying they look ok to me and if it is one of Bob Wests cars it will be right


Gordon

Is it me or has the car just got new pictures and description? The door fit seems to have got worse!
Neil McGurk

You're right Neil, bit "arty" aren't they!
Lindsay Sampford

Hi Neil, it's still on Bob Wests site as a sold car

Lindsay, yes I think they are supposed to be more "emotive" than "technical". Would still be reasonable at 15k.
