I very nearly installed one of these on my second MGA in 1969 after an insurance write-off. Regardless of how slick these things look, or how much it may cost to construct a kit car, these odd rebody cars are rarely worth as much as an all original MGA in good condition. There has been one up for sale for some time in recent years in northwest USA. I haven't followed up, but ....

And there it is a couple years later after restoration and conversion to a V6 engine.

My alternative to the Jamaican (starting in late 1970) was to assemble a Fiberfab Valkarie, a Ford GT40 knockoff, which had absolutely nothing to do with MGA. When finished it was too impractical for street use and WAY MUCH too difficult to insure, so it was sold for less than half the cost of materals. I'm not bitter, but just take it as a very good lesson from the school of hard knocks.
