I appreciate this is an outside chance, but does anyone know of any race prepared standard MGb GTV8's for sale. I have looked in various classifieds but can't seem to find any. Appreciate most of these would trade in the 'paddock'. Not looking for a super V8, more of one that is close to standard but had the needed race modifications.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for searching, and apologies I should have been more clear. I am looking for one with a standard 3.5l V8, rather than one with upgraded/modified engine.

Place a wanted ad' with the v8register. Or, why not prep' a car yourself? You'll then end up with a car that's prep'd how you'd like it to be and know the car has been modified correctly. If you're wanting a relatively standard 3.5ltr with original running gear it won't take much to get the car correctly ready for the track...

MSA App'd Cage
MSA App'd Fuel Tank
Upgrade all suspension bushes
Upgrade suspension [subject to regs']
Ignition & Fuel Cut-Off's
Built-in Fire Suppression System
Rev Limiter
New uprated brakes [subject to regs']
Set of Minilites and Tyres

All the above is readily available online/next day. A few weekends of fun tinkering and the car's ready subject to lightening, suspension set-up and corner weighting. Doing it this way you'll end up with a better car and have the satisfaction of knowing you've built the car yourself.

You could also contact Peter Burgess http://www.peter-burgess.com/

or

to see if they know of any cars for sale.
