MGA pricing?
 

Looking to see my oddball '57MGA that has been extensively modified to look the part of a vintage race car albeit with some creature comforts like carpet and nice seats.

No idea how to price such a thing and I see little to compare it to on facebook/BAT etc.

Any idea how to price such a beast?

No idea, but beautiful car!

Looks like a perfect candidate for Bring-a-Trailer.

Bingo

Was certainly considering BAT but wanted to set a reasonable reserve and by extension wanted to get a handle on pricing from my know-it-all pelican brethren.

I may toss out a minimal number I’m ok with selling at and see if BAT agrees.

This will be a first for me for sure

If the car was unmodified/clean/nice, what would it be worth?

No idea but: https://www.classic.com/m/mg/a/1500/

BaT wants the sale to go through so they get their 5% from the buyer so they insist on a reserve to their liking or they will refuse to represent your car. If your car makes reserve but the price is not what you were hoping for, are you obligated to sell? I don't think so, there is no contract in place. BaT is not even a real auction house, they just unite sellers and buyers. You'd probably be banned as a seller though.

GORGEOUS! That car is pure pornography.

I have a buddy with (possibly) the worlds nicest twin-cam. He would have an opinion. Message me if you want me to reach out to him.

Also, any interest in trading for an 01 Boxster S?

Damn. What a beaut!

That classic.com website is awesome! I had no idea it existed but found it remarkably interesting and insightful.

Thanks!

Call Jay Leno's production company and offer to share the car. Might take a few months but all the right people will see it. Then advertise it in Hemmings.

Selling a car like that takes strategy unless you're just gonna dump it. In that case. put 20k on it and be done.

Adorable.

Accepted by BAT, so I’m going to roll the dice and see what happens.

Now on to trying to take some decent photos. A photographer I am not, but copying some BAT examples works ok.

I suspect you’ll do very well on BAT. I’ve seen many examples of “more money than brains” there.

That's a left handed compliment.

Please link us up when the auction begins.

Good luck with the sale , that car is a work of art . Just stunning .

Not intended as such. He’ll do very well there.

It's very interesting to see how little it sometimes takes to turn a nice car into a real head turner:

A teardrop headrest, some aluminum-colored Dunlop-looking wheels, (I can't tell if they're real Dunlops or not. I don't have the discerning eye) a cut down windshield, BRG paint with a camel interior...and Boom! Ready for the Mulsanne Straight!

Nice looking car. GLWTA.

edit. Didn't notice the hood louvers until just now. This is a very tasteful car.
