These are complete replacement bodies which can be installed on the MGA. Sometimes we think of these as "kit cars". The ones intended to be used on the street may be delivered with many of the finishing parts required for interior trim, as well as most parts needed to make the car functional. Instructions would otherwise give information for procurement of any missing parts. The instructions may also make it sound like it's a matter of simple assembly, but in reality they would often require a certain amount of creativity to figure out how to make everything fit and work. The final quality of finish might also leave a lot to be desired.

Replacement bodies intended for use on race cars could be not much more than a bare shell with little provision for trim or creature comforts. Being made in small quantities they may also be intended to be adaptable to several different chassis models, which could require considerable work to adapt to a specific chassis. One common theme seems to be a total lack of bumpers, so street use is at your own risk, and beware of odd looks from your insurance agent.
