MGA and E type Jag almost ready to sell

Post by Shaunp »

Getting close to work on the Mustang, pretty sure I have sold the Jag, just doing what it needs after being stored for 11years and the MGA is 95% ready for Market as well :drink: :drink:

Hmmm, love them both. Drove a MGA back in my teens, my older brother owned one, however my girl at the time did not really like that type of car, she was into Mustangs.

Well the rest is history... :dance2:

Got of a mate of mine he was building it as a Hill climb race car. Grant used to pit crew with Dick Johnson back in the True blue Falcon days. Most of the running gear was built at Dicks work shop, billet flywheel, alloy diff, engine balanced / blue printed, Wade supa charger. Anyway Grant was getting divorceed so I ended up with the car, turned it into a quick road car. Used to have 10in 3 piece Mawer wheels on it and flarged gaurds kind of like a Cobra.

I've had it about 22 years

Looking amazing mate. I totally love the E types. Any pictures going? Especially the front and that lovely dash.


Question - was the "British Collection" a conscious thing? Or something that happened by hap-stance because you like the lines on both of the vehicles?
