The EX-182 can be considered one of the most important carsin the history of MGA because they are the immediate pre-production MGA racing cars built specifically to run in the 1955 Le Mans race. This was intended to be the showcase and publicity for the new MGA model. These racecars were originally intended to run in the Production class at Le Mans. When the production date slipped a little they were re-registered in the Prototype class. which allowed latitude for some additional modifications.The original parts including Top frame, convertible top, side curtains, front and rear chrome bumpers, side mirrors, tail lights, luggage rack, front grill and 4 painted wire wheels with tires are available with the buy it now price. Available at extra price if reserveis lower than buy it now
This car draws a crowd everywhere with car people and spectators.The owner has driven the car in several 4th of July parades in Lakeway Texas in 100 degree plus heat at 3-4 MPH and the MGA does not overheat. This is a well vetted collector car from an experienced and meticulous Collector.

This car is near perfect.1 inches of the red piping on the drivers side seat show wear. There is one flaw in the paint that I would have to show you. It doesn't show up in any pictures I tried to take of it. Very minor. I am being picky as to not disappoint anyone.
