The MG is a 74 1/2 they only brought the rubber bumper GT's over here for 6 months. It is a rare car I was told about 1200 or so were in the states.

Did you put the V8 in the MG? I had a 73 MGBGT that was the four banger with overdrive, hardtop with fastback, and I sold it but not for a Great price... Also sold it about ten years ago, so price was good then... I liked the GT model better than my B model, but they are both fun cars.

Yes I built the MG when I was in high school with my father it was the project I learned on from my dad. It was also my first car. The swap it really simple nothing compaired to the RX7. It is in the garage for round two now its going to get a 6 speed and a better rear end with disc brakes.
Yes I have to say the MGB is one of the most fun cars to drive, mine rides like a go-kart with the suspension I have on it. |

Eric and Charlie; Welcome. You guys found the right place. We need more Blue Oval guys on here to help us with these poor mis-guided bowtie guys.
Love the Cobra. All-time fantasy ride. What power? john |

It's westfield, basically the same but with minor bodywork changes following a bit of legal action in the 80's
The engine is a 1700cc ford crossflow on twin 40 dellorto DHLA's about 140bhp which in a car that weighs 500kg makes for rapid progress. I didn't build it, I bought it off a guy who was emmigrating to New Zealand, so it was a snip. It doesn't get used enough because days that are good for the car tend to be days that are good for the boat as well. It does have a roof, but it's not very effective and it's bordering on undriveable in the wet anyway.

It's actually not that difficult to drive, provided you treat it with a bit of respect. if you provoke it enough it will bite you though.
To sum up the driving experience I would say "it rewards concentration". |

No picts of the car on the dyno or doing the burnout? Could have just as easy been my Explorer. But then the dyno numbers would have been higher and it would've been a 4-wheel drift.
