^^ Is red a crazy choice or one that would be a no-no among MGAphiles?

Red seems a classic color for an A.

I won't say it has never been done but thankfully it isn't popular.




This is otherwise a great looking coupe but it's Michigan owner was sour he did not win a trophy at a national meet.

For $2k I could get a set of chrome wires which are very popular. But, not with me. You wouldn't have seen them back "in the day" and certainly not on any race track.

I had in mind something a touch more toward orange, and a little more toward satin in finish. And with your white. And I know you wouldn't do that to your grill.

Looking forward to pics, Dave.. I always enjoy photos of your beautiful A with its striking combo of interior and exterior colours.

The lower the car the worse the pain.

Being 6’3 doesn’t help either. I spent 6 hours yesterday working on a floor and miraculously my back isn’t killing me today. Think I am going to wait to wax the S though don’t want to push my luck, may just clean it up a little today, if it stops raining.
