MG MGA - new to MGA ownership

I have lurked here for many years - first as an MGBGT owner and now, finally, as the new owner of this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4652418852&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I purchased after being high bidder (below reserve) and after getting a lot of pictures of engine, undercarriage and trunk from the consignee/seller. Since I am looking to make this as bullet-proof a driver as possible ("bullet-proof" and "MGA" in the same sentence?), I am not overly concerned about the incorrect color (looks to me to be a metallic emerald - not "BRG"). I also do not know where the seller got the business about "1961 1/2" - I put its production in the April to June 1960 range . . .

I have already been devouring Barney's site as well as this BBS. My dad raced a 1500 w/ a Judson in California in the late 1950s, so I feel like ownership of this car is in my DNA. The car gets here next week, so you'll be hearing more from me.

Welcome to the fold. You are one of the lucky ones, getting a running MGA to run about in. Mine are all (ahem) slightly less than road worthy. The people on this board are very helpful. I wish you many happy years of ownership.

Well done - nice looking car. I actually like the color; it shows off the curves nicely.

Regards,

Now all you need to buy is a Judson Supercharger. I have one on my car and it drives like a dream. Nice car.

Looks nice, you should have a great time making it yours. As you probably know, there's always something to maintain or improve.

Another vote for the Judson and blow the socks of a Twin Cam!! The man to contact is George Folchi (do a Google).

Bill, I am in Arlington.

Jeff - do you own a Delux? I was at the Palo Alto Concourse this year and there was the most beautiful black Delux with a supercharger installed.
You?
