I named this MGA my "Oldest Friend" because it is the car the got me fascinated in British cars as a teen over 40 years ago and I still own it! Many British cars in between, but I have held on to the first one.

Thanks Pat. Good advice. I am planning on staying with the twin sixes along with all the other anachronistic components that make our car special.

Mohamed, Thanks. My MGA is the epitome that a car is never done. I've owed her for just over 45 years and with the exception of the chrome bling wire wheels, she is as she left Abingdon in 1960. She still has all of her original major components. Cheers, Don
