It's a converted MG, for sure, most likely a 1956 MGA, as the title states it is registered as a 1956. Which would make a legal 1956 car, for the most part, your state may have a different view on that.

Indeed, I had a '59 MGA and it wasn't near as pretty as this one.

I can't recall ever reading so much BS in one place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Yea, the prototype Cobra was built on an MG chassis, a "real frame, not that chincy tube thingy"!! An MGA with a Chevy in it is not a bad thing in and of itself ( I built a MGTD with a ford 260 in it, and it was a blast !) So why try to pass it off as something it's NOT ? Perfect example of the stereotypical car salesman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just asked if he could post some chassis pictures. But I got to thinking, he should be reported to EBay as to promoting his MG as a Cobra Kit. The only thing Cobra are the badges.

If you read enough, HE put the paint, seats chrome and Cobra Badges on it. He also states he bought it sight unseen, then somewhere else states he drove it extensively before he bought it! His mechanic warned him about the massive power, but wait he has owned 4 other Cobras. I think the mech was warning him about the sh...y manual MG brakes trying to stop that turbo 400.

This guy must be a gas hitting the bars!

Here's my favorite line from his ad, right at the top of the page!

Relica or relic? Tough call. Freudian slip perhaps?

I saw that also.

How about this one, "NO ONE will come near this car!"

Try and find the tail lights, they are there?

If it wasn't for all the "hyperbole" (nice term for some of the other words I could use) this is a pretty nice "Fauxbra", which is my term for "cobraized" MGs, Triumphs. 240Zs, Miatas and Healeys like mine: http://clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106429 There are a lot of us who drop V8s into Little British Cars in the Cobra tradition. Go here for some great examples: http://www.britishv8.org/ But the true enthusiasts would never try to pass one off as a real one.
