Byers MGA
A fiberglass body made by J.E. Byers Fiberglass Co. from California. The Byers MG was built in the mid 1990's. The body is a Byers CR90, which was intended for a shorter (88-90") and narrower chassis than an MGA (perhaps a Corvette?) The body turned up at an autojumble held at Lime Rock Park racetrack during the fall VSCCA race weekend. The body had never been used and cost two hundred dollars. The body was cut in half lengthwise and about six inches of fiberglass were taken out. Then the two halves were glued back together and fitted on a donor MGA chassis.The car has passed through several owners and each has made significant improvements to the car. The Byers bodies were made in very small numbers and this seems to be the only one left.
