Beautiful car! I like the black knock-off wheels, gives it a '50's hot rod look
that matches it's (assumed) performance. Very tastefully
done. But there IS some patina on the car - overspray on the engine number
plate! ;-)

Subject: [Mgs] unusual MGA
A friend of mine alerted me to an MGA which is presently on eBay. It was
on display at the Woodland British Car Show a few months ago. It is an
unusual specimen. However, something did get lost in the transition to
modern, fast, and reliable- it's overdone. No patina on this one. I
wonder if it will hit $100k. It really needs silver coloured wheels; the
black wheels really detract given the car's black body. The level of
quality is very very high. It will not be in California much longer; will
it end up in Switzerland or Dubai? Personally, I prefer one that has two
six-volt batteries, period-correct mirrors on the wings, period radio, but
those items are not expensive to add to the car.
He and I both noticed the car at the show and commented on it at the
time. My friend's comment: ".. I note that super nice MK2 deluxe that
was at the Woodland meet is up on ebay .. I've NEVER seen another that nice
.. must have cost a fortune to restore ... cheers".
