Completely Knocked Down MGA cars were built up in Ireland by Booth Poole and Co Ltd, Dublin. The first 4 cars were produced in January 1956. These cars were believed to all be undersealed, had leather seats, and could be ordered in any color combination, but were Roadsters only (pushrod and Twin Cam).
