Ian, What you saw is an MGA Coupe and no, they are not very common.
About 10% of all MGAs produced were Coupes. Two years ago John Twist was
able to assemble a total of 32 of them in Grand Rapids, Michigan for
his annual summer party. A small but growing band of MGA fanatics are
restoring these uncommon cars whenever possible, usually to keep them
from meeting the fate of the one you saw.
