Classic MGA 1600 Roadster Stops for an Ice Cream Cone

A classic red MGA 1600 roadster stops at a picturesque ice cream shop and diner in this image by George Cosmo Wagner
 

Late 50's MGA 1600 Roadster out for an ice cream cone. In production from 1955 through 1962 the MGA is a desirable classic. In nice shape one will put you back around $30k, a restorable car can be had for well under 10.

1969 Austin Healey Sprite


 The 1969 Austin Healey Sprite- I had the pleasure of owning a '69 Sprite although mine had been repainted "safety orange". Fun little car even though we push started it more times than I can count and parts acquisition was difficult at best. There was an MG dealer about 30 miles from my home and they were very helpful- at one point they pulled parts of a car on the lot when I was in a jam. We also made some brackets and machined a new banjo bolt for a front caliper ourselves. Impossible to get that bolt!

Today we can ride along with this proud owner as he takes us on a short demo cruise.
