I think the MGA is a lovely looking car. Here's what one looks like that's had the e-merican hot rod treatment. AWfUL.

They go to all that trouble to make it look utterly appalling then they don't even put a proper engine in it?

 

Dingle-brained fuckwits!

 

"Yes, let's put one of those really popular and well-loved for engine swaps Chevrolet V engines in it. Now what number was that? V... V... six? Yes, V-six. That's it!" The mind boggles.

Parts section OMGFIELDFIND 305 dizzler.  Not particularly cheap given how fucked it probably is, but saloons must be getting rare now.  Seller's other items are worth a look too.

"

This looks a bit happening until you find out that it has an MGB engine and gearbox."

 

Cavilling over minute details like this is most undignified. Its got two gear levers and you're still not happy.post-7547-0-40132600-1485526133_thumb.jpg

Rong engine and culler but ebay trigger finger is twitching. Shame about reserve not met as I suspect it is way out of my price range for a Toy! :D 

 

Reckon that could be battleship grey'd and fitted with a triumph straight 6 without too many issues though

 

Bet that the seller was well chuffed with his JDHT certificate investment

And again, put a Triumph engine in and you'll completely ruin it. Battleship grey with a roller would make it an absolute spunker though.

I bet that Daimler is loads more useful with an MGB drivetrain, bit like the prewar Pinto Rover that caused a bit of debate a wee while back.

Still would.

Agreed, easier to find bits, B series are reliable and long lasting too

It starts and may even drive

 

For 5 bags you'd think matey would be arsed to find out, wouldn't you?  Maybe it's because the Olds is the only thing keeping a herd of zombie Espaces at bay in his garden.

Err, surely you just need a small puddle to achieve that?

This looks great - even better than mine, if I'm being honest, in spite of the higher (but not excessive) mileage.  It lacks a working gearbox though.

Bit worrying if he's right and autobox spares for these really are extinct.  Seems unlikely though.

 

Nothing especially exciting about the auto transmission for a B3 - just because he hasn't located the pasrts doesn't mean they're not available. Pretty much any transmission specialist would be able to sort it.

^ Indeed - that's what I was thinking.  And fond as I am of my auto B3, 'nothing especially exciting' is probably fair comment all round.

 

Otherwise presumably there's always the option of robbing a dubbed-up SLAMMED RATL@@K YO mk2 Golf GTI of its manual box and then ceremonially cubing the rest.  Instant Autoshite legend.  

 

 

 

(Disclaimer: I actually rather like mk2 Golfs.)

Speaking of which, do we know of this Mk1 BX Estate?

That's from an ad for the twatshafted Polo. If you want to buy that, you can hunt for the listing yourself.

Had I not acquired the Hiace for such purposes, the idea of bodging this up with a few buckets of filler, bashing a couple of windows in the sides and fitting an 80s caravan interior would seem highly appealing.  Think how welcome you'd be at a nice tidy Caravan Club campsite.  Shame it doesn't have a nicely worn York diesel engine for maximum friend-earning capacity during prolonged smoke and noise-filled startups.
