MG MGA - HRG Derrington Installation

Just noticed an MGA for sale on ebay at Beaulieu Garages with Derrington Head. £45k. I think it is sold. I have enclosed the pictures of the installation with 1 1/2 SUs. They look very short bodied SU's and it fits easily under the bonnet. Interesting heater arrangement too.

Just for future reference.

I have an MGA with Derrington head. Anyone like to pay me £45K for it? £35K? It looks as if it has a twin cam heater box with air inlet on LH side. I have ben looking for one of those for a couple of years.

Hugh Ashley Hinton sells twin cam heaters. He has the original Smiths tooling I believe. The twin cam also has the hole in the scuttle in a different position, further to the offside, that's why the heater looks so far off centre on this one. I was amazed at the asking price.

Thanks John. Actually I bought superior type of air intake hose which I can route neatly down the other LH side. I found in the past that it's very difficult to get at the wiper motor fixings which tucked away under the wing. If one has that heater box far over to the left one would probably have to remove it to get at the wiper motor.

Thanks for those pictures John,the installation looks nice and professional who ever did it. That is how I'd like to do mine if I ever get around to it. Somewhere either here or the other site I thought someone had posted something about a company in the UK that makes new heaters and I thought one used in a Triumph? would work if a TC one was not available

Those are just stock MGA carbs fitted to the HRG intake.

Quite a price for the valve cover. Anyone want to buy an engine with that valve cover - and an HRG head? Only cost you the price of 8 valve covers!
