The MGA (first built in 1955) was a modern styled replacement for the long in the tooth MG TF/TD and as one of the first majorly restyled cars from Morris Garages after World War II, it represented a significant break from traditional open-fender styling. Today’s example is a well patina’d original unmodified survivor that runs […]
I think part of the reason I hold on to cars long after I should have sold them to the next guy is because I really hate dealing with “buyers” on craigslist…and when I say “buyers” I am referring to the endless stream of text messagers who feel the need to make unsubstantiated lowball offers […]

Today’s […]
The MGA was the first post WWII styled cars from Morris Garages and represented a significant break from traditional open-fender styling. Today the MGA is a surprisingly affordable car for all of its sleek 1950’s styling and a good example will cost you less than a project E-type/Austin-Healey 3000/Mercedes SL from the same era.
