MG MGA - MGA smooth valance photo
Hi, I'm looking for pictures of an MGA with a smooth front valance and headrest as per Auto Vintagery parts. I saw it last week and did not bookmark it. I have just bought a totally rust free "barn find" in pieces '61 MGA 1600 (in addition to my original 1500 in the family since new) that I intend to rebuild in BRG with these mods in mind. I also intend to install 18v with all synchro, (no driveline in barn find)any info (trans tunnel kit) would be appreciated. So would an MGA front engine plate... Cheers! Or would that be Charge!

Nice wheels Rich, any chance of a picture and some info? Neil |

Not my car I'm afraid. I took the pic at GT-32 on Tuesday. The wheels are the knock -off Minilite style mags. I was surprised how many cars had traded their wires for them. That particular A was very sharp looking. I'm still not sure if I liked the color of the wheels, but it sure did look good...It went pretty good too! |

Just for fun here's an action shot. Also taken during GT-32 this pic was taken on the run from Whistler to Lilooet 133km each way through the Coast Mountains of British Columbia with a 2000' altitude gain. Woo-Hoo! |

Are all of the sans bumper valences fiberglass? Anyone know of a metal version and supplier? Steve |
