The MGA V8 We go for a ride. Killer sound! DRIVE!

I wish I had kept mine...gave it up for Grad school. I could not keep everybody out of it, and all the fellows lived under the bonnet.

My dad has owned a few mga and mgb in his time. I remember them when i was kid amazing cars. A v8 mga is mental and love the sound. Love the car very impressive my dad would love on of these babies.

Beautiful conversion.

OOOOOOOO..h.

It's nice but those seats look real out of place.

looks like it's the car MG should have always made

This might be the coolest car, ever.

Cars don't come much prettier than the mga.

Thanks for the upload! Great work John would be a dream to take that for a spin.

wrong engine

doesn't sound like a British sports car anymore!

One word.beautiful !

ohhhhhhh! Are you for hire??

I like it better the original!!!
Modifying original classic cars, in my perspective, is "a crime"!!!
But its only me, and I am European, not from USA's!!!
BTW, I own a MGA-1500, (1957).
Everything in it, is ORIGINAL!!!
( What I really dislike, are those out of place seats -
they did NOT combine with the car.)!!!
If one day I would modify my original, I'll put a JAGUAR XK,
( 3.8 or 4.2), 6 cylinder, twin OHC engine, with 3,double barrel, 45 DCOE WEBER carbs.!!!

Great car. Sounds as they should
I'd get a new hat and spit out the toothpick. Legend!!

lovely conversion

Lovely paint, great engine sound, but lose those inappropriate seats!

this transformation will also be fun, but it's a big crap....

Please don't do another one. Leave the other MGA stock.

Might be interested in purchasing one. How to contact? Thank you.

Just stunning work!

Beautiful car, my compliments>

This is the reason the Sunbeam Tigers are demanding $75K to $125K today !!

I love the V8 but a well tuned 1600 MG engine will do a great job, the V8s are all about noise..

Put me in the 99th percent club. Beautiful!

You can see where Jaguar got their inspiration from classicly... and now Rover and Jag have joint forces

Looking at the back as it roared off I thought it looked like a C1 Corvette

Miles of smiles :)

Man I love an mga but I loveeeee this v8 version.

It's a beauty

Smart move putting in a good motor / transmission . I am hoping anything & everything he could change ; he did change .. Almost everything on the original cars were a horribly poor design ... everything from windshield wiper motor to brakes needed constant attention . A VERY Beautiful car now !!!

Omg that is beautiful. My dad had a red MGA when I was a kid. Gorgeous cars!

Fantastic car.

Nice!

Rover V-8? That is as pure as pure can be. Beautiful car and beautiful work.

What's with the toothpick?

UUUUGLY SEATS! UGLY Wheels Ugly Colour! THE REST IS GREAT.

That is so cool

I am the 99%

But id style it black and with white walls. Black interior

Isn't that what the old hotrodder's.
of the Shelby, Briggs Cunningham era did?

Amazing build! You unknowingly built [similarly] what's been swimming around in my head for a decade. Thank you...I'd never have the extra $$$ to do that myself. It was wonderful to watch & hear the video! ❤❤❤

Aisha’s a 1958 MGA . I was 22 years old and completely in love with my little car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sign of a well built and well thought out car. Respect to the builder.

It’s the way an MMGA should be.

Cute, but, you destroyed a classic! The original would be worth 10 times the value of yours. What a shame.

The car sure would look a lot better if it had chrome wire wheels instead of the ugly black wheels and grill surround. Otherwise this car is very nice!

GM designed and built this small 215ci aluminum V8 in the 1960s and Rover bought the rights to it much later.
Both motors are used in the MGA and the MGB conversions.
GM V6 motors are very popular for smaller sports cars and small European sedans.

This guy got his car absolutely right it’s the best looking mga v8 custom ever. It sits right, all the way down to having the seat mounted low so the driver doesn’t look like he is up too high. Well done

If you are going to butcher a car, consider Detroit Iron.
