Elva Courier

elva-courierThe Elva used the MGA engine, but was otherwise a full production car. So I’m not sure if this model counts, but I’ll include it anyway
 

Full Custom MGA

MGA-V8-custom-1A 1962 MGA custom built with a Chevy 350 Small Block V8 and automatic transmission. The engine is completely chromed and detailed. The exterior is finished in Candy Apple Red Paint with a Tan Leather interior

Customized Magnette

Magnette-custom-1Spotted by Tom from Florida at the Turkey Rod Run, Daytona Beach 2004. Presumably it has a Ford V6 engine. For a full story on this car click here (from the pages of the Magnette register)Magnette-custom-2
 

Hot Rod MGA

MGA-hotrod-2Among many other modifications this car has a Chevelle chassis, a 327 engine and a VW windshield. Not much MGA left, though.
