This is a "short" list of some one of a kind modified MGA. As there were over 100,000 MGA produced, there were ultimately thousands of them being modified in various creative ways. I personally find the Street Mods more interesting than the Race Cars, as they are less restrained by the requirements for speed and more likely to be personal statements, works of art, or just plain wierd in some cases. They also commonly retain full street trim, so we can identify with something we might like to take for a spin after dinner.

4-Seater or 2+2 We have a couple of these to consider. Click for more information.

"Bizarro" This is a 1960 MG Savoy roadster on an MGA chassis, a one-off creaton by Michael Pistol in art decco style. It was sold at the 2002 Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizone for $15,200. It has been listed on eBay a couple of times in 2003-2004, but I don't think it sold. This is a good example of how some very expensive one off modified cars may hold little value for the general public.

Boat Tail Racer For those who miss the "classic" MG style. Click for more information.

Chevelle This is one I really didn't need to see. Among many other modifications this car has a Chevelle chassis, a 327 engine and a VW windshield (not much MG left here). Seen on eBay, December 2004.

Cobra clone This MGA sure looks familliar. There may be quite a number of similar cars in the world even though they would be created one at at time. This one belongs to Michael Brose in Virginia, and may be more unique than most. You can find more notes and photos of this V8 conversion at www.knightriderscarclub.com

Electric MGA 1 converted by Bob Wing, see 27 years with this MGA.

Electric MGA 2 converted by students at University of Texas at Arlington. Unfortunately much of the project information was lost (at least temporarily) when the project web site was purged from the University computer. See photos of the conversion.

Hotrod Surfer Definitely an MGA chassis and engine in this sixties vintage hot rod.

Rotary MGA This 1958 MGA was built up by Randy Brown with a Mazda Rotary engine and matching gearbox. More details.

Radical V6 Radical restyling and a 3.8 liter Buick V6 engine, converted by Harrison Manell. You can also find a number of V8 conversions, some done well but many badly botched.

Radical V12 This was an MGA prior to gross modification to rebuild it around Jaguar suspension and V12 engine. More details.

Roll-Up Roadster This is an MGA roadster with modified Coupe doors installed for the roll up windows and wind wings. This was done for the Managing Director of a major MG Distributor. Since there is no facory project number I would assume that it was done by private party.
