[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

What do you think of the MGA?

[@travissmith5525]

Beautiful car, I wish they were still made that way! Every car nowadays looks the same.

[@williambarry8015]

I think they're just as beautiful as the Ferraris.

[@travissmith5525]

I love your videos! Just everything about them, all the information, your energy, upbeat, the fact they're part of your family buisness, and so much more! Thank You for your time to put these videos out. I hope you have a Blessed day!

Such a fun car to drive, being used to driving big American cars in the 60s, driving the MG was a blast.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

YES!

[@tomdanley7358]

If you look at the lines of the MGA there are elements of the Austin-Healey in its styling. Definitely a quantum leap from the MG T series in terms of design. Next to the Austin-Healey the MGA would be the quintessential British classic Sports car. Would love to see a video of Austin-Healey 100/4 , 100/6 and the 3000.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Putting the Healeys on my list of video need to-dos!

MGA roadster is a nice car with nice lines. Quite simple mechanically and a pleasure to drive. Values going up over considerably the past 40 years from virtually rock bottom in 1970's in UK. Every last component is easily available and some restoration projects are finding their way back from US to UK. I bought one in 1970's to restore (stored it away) and then after a house move, bought an ex-California car in 1996 to make a full restoration possible.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Awesome! Hope the restoration goes well!

[@awalk5177]

@@BadBlonde-CarHistory The restoration was completed by an MG specialist in 1997. The car was stored for over 10 years, but now I'm driving what seems like a new car. Thank you.

[@leeduncan3000]

Very Beautiful Car.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Agreed!

[@173customdetailing9]

Love British tin, I'm in the UK anyway, love your passion 👍

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Thank you for that! Nice words are always great to receive :)

[@bennyhannover9361]

I wonder whether Donald Healey had any hand in the creation of the MG this way. He did inspire so many things like the Chrysler V8 in a Jensen or the 8 cylinder Triumph Dolomite from 1938

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Great question

[@lightning15054]

My college roommate had a 1961 MGA. We drove it from Chicago to Minnesota in the middle of the winter. The heater was a joke! The twin SU sidedraft carbs were a pain. It was very hard to tune them. But it was so much fun. It was not very powerful but still great to drive. A few years later I bought a TR4, which had slightly more power but all the same issues. Now I am an old retired guy and I think I want one again. Anyone know where I could find a rust free example?

[@cirrus1964]

I had the same SU's in my Triumph TR 3. They were easy to tune (refill the oil regular). I recall they got out of tune often, caused by using the choke much.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Hahaha, I bet y'all have some stories from that trip. Love it.

[@kalliashook4858]

The MGA doesn't get the attention it deserves!! Love um!!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Me toooo

[@Merlinemryys]

Had a 58 MGA coupe and a 65 MGB roadster.

[@Sir_Dad_the_Legend]

The one fact I never knew was the NASCAR story. 👌🏼

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Cool!

[@georgejosephs8611]

Love the MGA. A true brit roadster!

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Ain't it! ❤

[@mattshepp9219]

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Can do!

Got a mgb.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

DAYUMM. That's pretty coo

[@lib556]

Sigh... another video that makes me sad about having to sell my MGA 20 yrs ago.... 😪

[@robertllr]

How about a little less squealing drama in your inflection? It's really hard to listen to.

[@BadBlonde-CarHistory]

Well shoot, if I had known I could change my voice and personality I'd have done that ages ago!
