Wonder what a NOS gold plated key would go for?

This page has links to pictures and descriptions of the MGA's, all of which went for over 32k. They are nice, but I wouldn't say they were all in concours condition. http://www.barrett-jackson.com/events/scottsdale/vehicles/makelistnb.asp?auctionid=53&makeid=1919

Interesting to see the prices creeping up over there - this might stop the flow of MGAs back to the UK with unrestored LHD imported cars fetching about £6k and some dealers asking over £15k for tidy cars - don't know if they are getting that though - I paid £9,000 for mine (RHD)3 years ago and it is quite a good example.

Jeffs post shows pictures and give lot #s. With the lot # you can search Dougs post for price. all 3 were red the cheapest an original red? It is pushing up the junk to.

Lot 639 Red MGA advertised concours level prof. restoration the door fit was sticking out on the bottom. The ends of the front bumper were sagging down. You could see all of the fender bolts. Temp. sensor flapping in the breeze, not clipped on block.
Cockpit combing flaws under covering. Major checks in paint by grill. Idling high as they brought it into the auction. I watched this particular car to see what it was going to go for. It's all in the sales fluff. Thirty thousand sold.

The Barrett Jackson Auction is a must see at least one time in your life if you are a car nut.
