You should be able to buy a generic one at any auto parts store. Not sure
where you might want to mount it. Didn't the MGA have a cigarette lighter?
My more modern 67BGT has one that actually works. I bought one of the
generic cigarette lighter adaptors and use that to run power to
accessories. The positive ground needs to be taken in consideration. I
hooked up the adaptor and marked the polarity of the wires. I use it to
power a cd player or cassette player that I can just plug in while they sit
on the passenger seat. That way I can enjoy music while keeping the car
fairly original, down to the AM radio that also still works.
