MGAs are great fun! love that body flex, and those plywood floors. But the roadster is barely a three season car in the north east. I never understood the obsession with top less cars from a country that gets 5 warm sunny days a year. Plus with around 100,000 MGAs produced vs millions of bugs, your performance parts selections are so much greater with VW. I'd say you made the right choice.

Ah yes but! Open car fun on those 5 days cannot be equalled by anything else!

Ok, maybe it's no the best for a year round family car...

Oprn you left out no way to lock the car, no door handles, no glass side windows, just take the plastic windows out of the trunk and put them up.

Horn in the middle of the dash, signal light switch that worked like a egg timer,
twist it ----tic tic tic that twist it again. Two 6 volt batteries, Positive Ground.
If the car did not start it came with a hand crank. In cold weather you needed it with straight 30w in the winter

Me driving and my wife to this day standing.

1968 Easter Sunday DA BRONX.
