Solved - NEH 1136: MGA Special from Connecticut - 1962
« on: June 20, 2011, 08:03:02 AM »
I think it's time for me to post another puzzle or two.
First one: for 1 point what's this, when and where was it built?

It has been refereed to as an MGA Super-America?

Other than that I'm flummoxed

I've seen it so referred too, I suppose since it has a rather 60's Ferrari-like front.
I don't think it actually has any official name.
You've already got the fact that it's MGA-based so all I want now is when and where it was built?
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can find that out.

Funnily enough I saved this photo the day before you posted this, but I had no name for it. A bit of googling and I can't seem to find any reference to a date or builder for this car, so I'm excited to see what you have on it! IMHO it's a very successful conversion, possibly even nicer than the factory MGA coupe...

I don't have a car name or builder's name either - all I'm looking for is the when and where it was built!

A guess based on when and where the photo was taken, Connecticut circa 1960?

That's all I was looking for!
I understood that's when and where it was built..

Perhaps in due time someone will come up with a bit more information.
In the meantime that's another inch closer to Professionaldom for you!
