I've stayed away from ebay and looking at MGs. I've been a really good girl. Too many things going on here through the summer for another toy or project.

But, I have a birthday coming up in a couple months. Wouldn't this look nice with a big birthday bow on it?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet car.

Have a feeling this would be more like what I'd get:

Let's see, let me think about this... YES!!! Too bad the seller is bidding his own car up to a ridiculously high price. That's just sad. Same as that guy selling the V8 conversion GT.

You deserve an MGA today!

 

[jaybird]

You noticed that too? Car's real nice, looks pristine from what I can tell in the pictures, but I would NEVER pay $26+ for a toy. Okay fine, I won't say NEVER. I could, at some point, win a lottery or something.

And if I were 'buying,' I'd like a '71 B to be exact. Or a '53 TD. Good years.

I like the A's... nice swoping lines, curvacious body, understated front end, and a perfectly sculpted rearend. I'd love to have one in my drive way with a bow on it...

I certianly wouldn't buy one for 25K+ though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

I guess if you like that sort of thing that would be a fine gift. I'd rather get a nice running car myself, something that could get out of its own way, something more like this. https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...ssPageName=WDVW
Let the Flaming begin.

Walter,

No flames here, I grew up with an A and I love them, but you're right on this one.

What a great statement... I agree, as a ball fan though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

The best of the best.... Not that there is anything wrong with that!!!!

Who's got the tar and feathers?

Nice car walt, but I like the looks and lines of the A so much more. But if you want to buy me that 'rumf for my b/day I could use the money I got from selling it toward an A.

[/ QUOTE ]Can't understand what you have against this car? I mean, with a new $3000 aluminum bonnet, $1000 worth of carpeting and seats, $600 in wire wheels, a new head, bumpers, grill, windscreen, top, and assorted instruments and other odds and ends, it could look just like this (except for the scenery!):

You must have been a really good girl to get a $25K MGA for your birthday! lol! I really like MGA's too and have been considering one for my next restoration, then again I've also looked a Series IIA land Rovers! Tho' I wouldn't throw out the Triumph if given to me, they just look so much more brutish compared to the beautiful lines of the A.
