OK - been sitting on this a few days until I could go see it. A friend has a '58 MGA that's been in the family for a while, but needs to let it go in order to buy a house. Painted in '99, but it's been sitting since '05; taken out periodically for short drives until the rear wheel locked up. It's dusty, but looks like a very nice project for either a driver or full restoration. Body seems VERY straight, and there's a bit of surface rust on the frame. Has not been started in a while. As a couple of the tires are flat, I couldn't get a good look at the frame. Interior needs help, etc., etc. But the good news is that it's all there, and there are lots of receipts as well as some pictures of the paint work, including a shot of the car after stripping. Currently yellow with black interior, but according to the commission number, I'm pretty sure it was originally a red car. I'm working on getting more info, but what I can tell you is that it is original except for a B engine transplant; I think it's an early 3-main high compression. If I had room and finances I'd be all over it! But I've too many years invested in a marriage at this point to risk it!
I'm at meetings most of today, but will be online later this afternoon or evening. PM me if you're REALLY interested and I can get you a few pictures. We'd like to see this go to someone who will give it the care it deserves, rather than just grab it and flip it. The car is a couple hours away from me, but I'd be more than happy to help with arrangements.
