MGA Poor, poor MGA

One of my friends on Facebook shared this photo.

The picture was supposed to have been taken in Edgecombe, North Carolina.

Hmmm... staged? Pretty old tree, and the door's been removed. Wonder if the body was slipped on through the doorway and the wheels strategically set.

Anyway, neat photo.

My thoughts also. But I agree, neat photo!

My thoughts, too, but it's still really funny.

Whenever I see a car in that kind of condition, I think that, at one time, it was a shiny object of lust, sitting in a dealership showroom. Then, someone bought it, and it was for many years an object of pride and delight. I wonder about how it got from there to here.

I'm stumped as to how they got that photo :rolleye:
Besides, it has a boot and a trunk.

Wonder who will embark on the restoration?

A tree surgeon of course.

I don't think it is too bad, though it sure does have a long throw shifter.

So, what you are saying is that this would be more suited to a car from the Rootes group?

Help, I surrender

Here's another MGA for your consideration:

But I like the one in the original posting better...

Thats a fancy looking A.

You have to admit, though, it definitely has an abundance of patina.
