MG MGA - speechless

Hi all, one for the (very rich) ladies I think

Gordon, I wonder if the tool roll is pink as well

It's not been done well, look at the warping dash. A below average car that's been modified tastelessly and on the cheap. Will be interesting to see if anyone likes this! Cannot understand the "think of a number and double it" price tag.

Now this would suit one of our club's female members. She has painted her MGF bright pink. Her dad, an MGA owner, will only go in it if he has a paper bag over his head - seeing this would finish him off I think!!
Cam Cunningham

Well, I wouldn't worry about the warped dash so much if the sheet metal and rocker panels were sound, but the color is a little over the top. They say that real men can wear pink (shirts), but to purchase something like that, I would have to have to bring it to my body man before it could come home.

I feel my wrist going limp................

It was configured to promote a Barbie-doll accessory, for chrissake! My little sister had one. Odd that a color produces such a response, Jack. I leave it to you to explain. Me, I like the 1940 Ford tail-lights.
Ken Korey

I can ask my wife if should would like it to go with her pink Fiat 500 (old version)!!
I restored it a couple of years back and still regret asking her what colour to paint it!!

Neil Purves

I'm with Ken. When you think about it, it is very strange that a mere colour (or color in some parts) should evoke such feelings. Dare I say, that perhaps it doesn't really make Jack's wrist go limp, but provides an opportunity for stereotyping and perhaps, the surfacing of a latent homophobia. "C'mon" I hear you say, "Just a bit of harmless fun." But remember, stereotyping is the first step to prejudice.
Phillip Hughes

I'm prejudice against men that choose to be like women, and the converse.
Steve Meline

Regardless of the colour, it's a poor quality job considering the price.
Neil McGurk

Wow! Phillip--somehow I've struck a nerve?

Sell the wife (again!). This one is a man's white.

Interesting little project car for you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLASSIC-LHD-MGA-1500-ROADSTER-1958_W0QQitemZ290414901231QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item439e13b7ef#ht_500wt_1182

Interesting painted wheels.

Steve, Paint over the wing piping (and fuel tank and wiring!)....looks like a quick "tart-up job" to me.
Lindsay Sampford

Hi Steve, saw that one looks a bit high at the back ?

the current owner of one of my old MGA's back in the 70's kindly sent me a photo of it as it is today
