Judging from the door fit it must be a very good shell, the rest of the restoration looks to have been done to a pretty basic level (look the engine bay and boot - not so pretty).

With a bit of work and a gallon of Chariot red paint, could be a very nice car!

Yes but ant it yeler.

Apparently, in France, a yellow car is a sign of being cuckold!

If I was his wife, I would find another man (with better taste in car colours)

Reason for selling;

"Honey, it's me or the car!"

Lucky it wasn't a nice red twin cam!

It should be invisible in Florida!! (but not Canada)

You guys need some imagination!
For the record, my favorite colors are black, black, and black, followed by dark gunmetal, Mallard green, Mineral blue, Damask.
In the early 70's, I got way tired of painting customer MGAs red, and we had a MkII to build for sale, so I did it in Corvette yellow. It looked great, and was by far the most (favorably) remarked on A I've ever seen; every stop got great response from any bystanders. Even the various "Red owners" grudgingly admitted it looked as good as theirs.
We did have a black/black interior in it though - much better than the tan, which doesn't do a thing for me in this yellow car.
It was also the easiest and quickest sale, at the best price we ever got in those days.

That was the 70's for you!

Try selling one like that on this conservative little island!

I wonder if it has a fresh lemony scent as well?

Yeah, that's what the world needs - more red MGAs. Of all the red MGAs built, 137% are still on the road. :-)

Hey David,

Stand at the side of the road and wait, see how long it is before you spot a red MGA!

Not exactly common.

There is a reason why so many are red! And I was the guy talking about painting my resto dove grey, remember.
