My Dad and his 1960 MGA.
[Home]
1960 MGA roadster - SN: GHNL 98415
December 1999
 
My dad standing next to his MGA roadster.  The previous owner was the same guy (Howard) who I had bought my 1966 MGB from in 1975. 
The car is stored outside under a tarp and is supported about a foot or two off the ground using a pair a steel ramps. 
Dash and interior. 
Looking up at the rear end. This section has been badly damaged by the previous owner after it was push-started a number of times. 
Having spent its life in New England, the rockers need replacing. 

1960 MGA roadster - SN: GHNL 98415
January 2006
I went out to verify the chassis number of the car. Here it is under it's cover. January 8, 2006
This was the first time it was uncovered since December of 1999. Somewhat hard since I could still imagine my Dad standing there. 
The engine is from a MGB. Fortunately the top of the cylinders are filled with oil. I had forgotten the cylinder head was off the car.
This is what I was looking for; the chassis number. This verifies it was 1960 model.
The car was moved from it's covered spot and rolled into the garage/shed in my Mom's yard. It was only a move of about 30 feet, but required my Saturn and a bit of pulling and pushing by hand to get it in. No steering wheel made it more difficult. I wanted to get it inside before the big snow storm was to hit that evening. Should be better protected there. February 11, 2006
