Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Braided steel lines, Dunlop peg-drive knock-off steel wheels, 4-wheel Dunlop disc brakes, Englebert tires, dual wing mirrors, roll bar, wood-rimmed steering wheel.

Condition

Light orange peel and scratches in the paint. Worn out seats. No bumpers. Clearly set up for vigorous driving. Would be a neat tour or rally car, and probably already has been.

Market commentary

This MGA Twin Cam sold for $31,800 at Mecum's 2011 Monterey auction, then brought a wholly magnanimous $67,100 at the Motostalgia USGP weekend auction in Austin, Texas November 2013. It is unlikely to plumb the depth of that result in the remaining lifetime of anyone old enough to drive and should have been off and selling well before the bid reported here. It's still the $30K car it was in 2011.
