MG MGA - Anyone know this 'A'

On ebay starting at £12K, with no reserve. Item number: 330222439530, reg no. 380 CLG. In white I know, says it has nut and bolt rebuild and has a 1800 cc B engine and 5 speed box. Sounds good - 80 miles from Nottingham, where I wonder

The ebay car is in Hitchin but I see the engine only appears to have one carb. I thought B engines had twin SU's like A's. Am I missing something

mj - could be a webber replacement for the twin SUs.

That looks like a webber carb. thought by many to be superior to twin S.U. In fact they are popular with racers, but rarely as smooth, reliable and sweet sounding. This car is far, far from original.

I may be a bit weird but the thing that annoys me more than anything is the owner cannot fold the hood! It makes me think that if he is so lazy and has so little respect for the hood, how has he treated the rest of the car!

The "new" interior does not look well done.

It's a matter of personal taste, but let's see how the bidding goes!

Its also running an alternator, which isnt necessarily a bad thing.

I really need to go and see this white car on ebay. It appears to be for sale at a dealership as I have been given the opening hours. Perhaps the proprietor is unfamiliar, as I am, and does not know how to fully retract the hood. There are quite a fee A's coming on the market and thanks for the pointers
