MG MGA - MGA Twin Cam prices on the rise!

Looks like a nice car (I have no connection with the seller only jealous!)

You really mean: Asking prices are on the rise.

A lot depends on location. In Queensland they might be exceedingly rare, hence a premium might be sought.

Thats £54,700 here in the UK, I think I would want an absolutely original car, moth-balled fresh off the production line for that money.

I have seen them advertised for between £36,000 and £39,000 here in recent months but I think that I have seen them priced up in the mid £40k region before this.

Prices for all As have been on the move for sometime in Oz. 10 years ago very good cars were selling for just over $30k, 5 years ago the price move to $35-40k now people are asking around $50k (not sure they are getting these prices as some have been advertised for long periods).

Mike,

Very nice Twin Cam, I am wondering also if it will sell at the asking price; way out of my league, sadly...

I could have bought one for 150 pounds in 1966, Stocton on Tees!

Another mga twin cam sold (yes sold!) in OZ at the weekend for $85,000 so asking price of green car is round about the money.
Twin Cams like BGT V8s are rare and short of supply will keep prices high.
