I've always loved the looks of a MGA. Some of the best car styling ever produced, the MGA and the Austin Healey 3000 are my favorites. I never owned either. I did restore a MGB in the 80's which was a fun project. When I think of a sports car, it has to be British. And I am from the states where muscle cars ruled for years. But British sports cars look so much better. Sometimes it's not about being the fastest, it's about looking good and the British sports cars can't be beat in looks.
So the shape of the MGA, which was introduced in 1955, managed to influence the shape of the Corvette, introduced in 1953 and the Jaguar XK120, introduced in 1948. Does nobody check this nonsense?
It happens to be true, not nonsense. The reason I purchased my Jaguar in the 70s was because it was shaped like my '58 MGA 1600 twin cam, the most perfect car I ever owned...still in the family!
Depends upon the model Corvette and Jaguar, not the year.
@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 Drew Pritchard specifically cites the series 1 Corvette, introduced in 1953 and the Jaguar XK120, introduced in 1948. Are you the person that researched this nonsense for the programme? If not there is clearly a job waiting for you.
Why do this to a really pretty Mga coupe, it looked perfeckt as it was. The original steel wheels were looking great. Most MGa's already have wire wheels.
Drew Prichard really does believe that he knows more about everything than anybody else.
This liberal has no clue about cars
Works...
Drew at his best, turning a nice car into something worthless and unsellable
Nice MGA, orginal steering wheel, steel wheels, great interior, hope they didnt throw these away, at least you will be able to get rid of the improvements at a later date.
Not to mention the original seats which were "a bit saggy", apparently (well..just restore them). They probably sold all those bits on eBay to help fund their ill-conceived so-called 'improvements'.
Nice car. But changing to wire wheels was a mistake.
Black wheels ? Yeuch ! Black roof and no silly circles would have been good.
wow... a white roof, black wheels, some headlight bits make this car really something special
A Union Jack on the roof would really set it off.
What a man. Really knows how to add value to a car.
What a mess putting those daft numbers on the side. Would have looked good if not for that. Sometimes, in fact often, less is more!
Agreed the Roundels yellow and the black rims with the white roof and the extra goodies you bought "Spot -ON" from the USA now I will get mine thanks you for the input and inspiration!
Growing up in the USA no muscle cars for me only English 58 MGA 67 MGB 67 4.2 L XKE Roadster
Personally I thought Drew ruined it, should have left it to Paul to do what he wanted to do with it.
not the first MG he's ruined.
Completely ruined the car. 1st - chrome wire wheels are the way to go with this car - look at the prices and you can see that CWW add £4k to the price of all 50's and 60's sports cars. That is a fact, check it. Painted wires? Might as well stick to the standard steels. The supposed "racing" roundels are too small. Again look at cars that have them, And they again reduce the price of the car. The market price for a very good MGA convertible is 3£13k to £18k for an exceptional one. Notably, one with roundel and painted wires went for £11k earlier this year. This Drew character knows nothing.
This is the theme of the show
You know what would look really good on that? Some silver wheel spinner decals on the doors, look really cool. 🤭
Should have left it alone, customizing for profit is almost always a bad idea. You increase the niche of your buyer base while throwing away profits. Just let the buyer customize..
I would have left it alone. Why screw it up ?
Why "Drew" it up. ????
Wow the car particularly the colour.
Still wish i still had mine
Drew gives lessons in style whilst dressed like Vincent van Gough
I bought mine second hand in 1967 for three hundred quid.
I don't know why I do it to myself. I was forced to sell my MGA over 20 yrs ago and miss it dearly. Yet, I still click on these vids and torture myself.
I am the same 40 years ago. I had two E Types. Two Elans. One Elan sprint. TR5. TR 6. Two Alfa spiders. MGC. Three crayford mk 2. Cortina convertibles And a few mmm 2 Jags. But I’ve moved on to a 15 year old diesel Peugeot Sob sob. 🏴🏴👌👌👌
You threw it buddy! Man you can sew a sows ear out of a silver purse!
The first 3 minutes of this video clip illustrates what a lovely car this was.... What they did to it and how it ended up in the final minute and a half...is a disgrace. Someone should have stopped them.
Right, it was such a wonderful, and elegant looking car. Please don't let these guys come anywhere near classic cars in the future.
Che AUTO MERAVIGLIOSA 🎇🎉
donde cepuede contactar con el taller llo tengo un 61 M.G y quiciera arreglardo
I have seen a local (Australia) car modified to include electric windows, all round discs, aircon, power steering. I don't know how it all fitted but I noticed the car was low & small inside. Loved it but not an every day drive.
Another MG ruined. That interior is dreadful.
So are the wheels - awful.
My first car. I knew a guy that had a white hardtop, like the one in the video.Mine was Iris blue
How to completely ruin a beautiful car.
Not digging the black rims! Shame!
Another episode of drew tries to turn a classic car into an antique chair and ruins it
Too gorgeous!! 💕 Love it.
His other show is drew makes a poor bloke drive him a thousand miles in a van then makes him hump the biggest table in the world to the van then makes him drive him home again
Wonderful car.
It was... until these two got their hands on it.
Pritchard should not be let anywhere near a car. How he gets on any show beggars belief. Nice car apart from those awful black wheels and tartan seats, totally wrong.
I agree, those "Bay City Roller" tartan seats are a bloody disgrace.
nice video, i also build replicas classic rally cars with period correct parts :)
black wheels are awful is that like ghetto style for the UK ?
What is this silly bollocks
and Drew has them enamel the rims without disassembling the spokes from them??? what a hack job that he then demands big bucks for... mister perfectionist missed the point on that one. if you're going to pay to have a job done... have it done correctly.
I hate the colour of the wheels and the cream dots on the doors and them seats . Sorry drew you have ruined that car stick to furniture in the future
Oh dear 😳
This MGA and the Green Jaguar MKlll were the best British upgrades on the show to my mind elegantly done is all it took or needed the MGA looked fabulous on the road after it,nice one and it shows enthusiasts that you don't need to know alot or spend alot to keep a classic going!..Smart TV show!..
Drew looks like he gets dressed by his wife.
She divorced him when he got caught shagging around. Then he went to court when the husband of the bird he was bonking lamped him in a pub
@@bonkeydollocks1879 Bet neither were oil paintings...but we know what his taste is and eye for perfection eludes him...he´s always looking up to the other big twat for advice God noes why he´s just as clueless...big kid in a sweet shop springs to mind....
Drew looks like he gets dressed out of a skip.
Anyone know Mr Oxmall? First name Mike! 🤔 MikeOxmall.
Seriously? You can’t actually believe that an MGB engine makes an MGA more valuable…more driveable? Maybe, but not by much lol. Find a 1622 block and cam and go around 9:1 compression, upgraded pistons, maybe a tubular style manifold . and you’ll double the bhp. The MGB was the most mass produced sports cars of all time until the Miata finally dethroned the B about a year ago.
You might as well tell Porsche owners to do a VW bug swap lol
Spot on. The MGA engine is very tuneable and easy to do. Why add the extra weight of the MGB lump?
Drew knows nothing. Always ruins the cars
Quite possibly the worst car show on tv, with the worst presenters, until the gang from Goblin works garage took the crown
Drew buys junk and sells antiques then buys classic cars and fucks them up
Last Mot Feb 2020 expired 2021.
I missed how much the buyer paid for the car….anyone?🤷
White vinyl roof Drew - should have had one to be period correct 🤣
Drew picture & Paul coward
I like Drew P. and its Tv Shows... but sorry this car it's like a fight with a fist in my stomach. I can't see this car😒
when people come up with original is absolute crap, stove enamel is the best but the very old fashion way not the mod way you have to use the old school paint not the modern paint
Drew Prichard ~ please concentrate on old factory lamps and brown furniture.
Please leave British Classic Cars alone as you've no idea what you're on about.
he's learning a bit now
Ignorantly arrogant I find drew he thinks he knows it all stick to antiques and leave cars for us who know what we talking about
Antiques!..you mean brown furniture and house clearance tat...
Wonder why no new episodes have been filmed
