I have owned this car for 40 years. Prior to that it had been stored inside for 8 years, It had a complete frame off restoration. This was a very solid car that was completely disassembled and the body was acid dipped removing all rust and paint. The frame was sand blasted revealing a very solid frame . No expense was spared in the restoration bringing it back to as close to original as possible. Restoration completed in 2010. Driven about 4000 miles since then. I have bought, owned, sold and restored MGA’s for over fifty years. Having owned over 40 MGA’s.
