WHY CAN'T I (WE) HAVE A 1/24 MGA (roadster/fixed head) KIT TO BUILD?!!

Thank you very much, Nick but, I suspected SE Finecast was out of business for some years, I even tried some other company that used to sell Finecast kits, and they told me they was out of the market... well to my astonishment(?) when I tried yesterday to enter the SF Finecast site, it was on!... could it be an old eco? in any case I mailed them right away but, as I had no feedback, I decided to phone them some minutes ago and THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS: Somebody took over the company and the new owner(s) are for now taking a look on everything the late company used to produce, the moldings conditions, etc, so in the next future we will probably have the old kits back again!... and they have a page on Facebook where we can get their news as they are out there...

So, I might have an MGA 1/24 model in this life then...

Excellent! The company that bought SEF is called Squires; they are a well known supplier of modelling tools and supplies here in the UK.

 

Here's a link to their homepage:

That is certainly good news to hear - I've been wanting one of Finecast's MGAs for a long time, to build a replica of my uncle's 1:1 (1600 Mk1 roadster in dove grey) so fingers crossed that it will be back in production.
