V8-Powered 1959 MG MGA Roadster 5-Speed
United States • 14 Aug 2026
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1959 MGA Roadster has been significantly upgraded with a Rover V8 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, making it a unique classic. While it features desirable modifications like VTO wheels and a custom interior, it does have some noted mechanical and suspension wear that requires attention.
Condition
6
The car has had significant modifications and refurbishment, including a V8 engine swap and new transmission. However, there are noted issues such as cracked suspension bushings, play in kingpins and rear universal joint, fluid leaks, belt cracks, aged exhaust hangers, and scrapes on the mufflers, which indicate it is not in excellent or outstanding condition. The paint and interior were redone in 2005, but recent service in 2026 suggests ongoing maintenance needs. This aligns with a 'Good' condition rating.

Additional modifications include an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum radiator, VTO 15″ Minilite-style wheels, a side-exit exhaust system, a custom burl wood dash panel, a Sony CD stereo, and MGB-sourced suspension, brake, and interior components.
Work in preparation for the sale involved servicing the rear brakes, replacing the tires, rebuilding the alternator and carburetor, and more.
