Hello:
This is interesting to me as I have an ex-Gene Ponder MGA mkII. He owned
it in 1979. I obtained it from a feller down on the Buffalo River in
Arkansas. He had purchased it from an Iowan who had imported it from
Texas. It's restored condition matched your description, David. It's a
roadster, chassis No. GHNL2 / 100694. Does anyone know it? I'm curious
to know more about Mr. Ponder also.
Regards,
