Cheers, it's going to be a replica unfortunately, the real things go for nearer £100k and IIRC there were only 6 made. Still, this one should be nice, going for BRG with white flashes, see my profile cars.

Still, going to be really smart!!!! I envy you!!! Keep us posted

[Forthright MC]

that does look like it will be a good little project to work on!
very nice indeed!

Fantastic, there's something special about MG's of that era. I read a site about a guy who did a V8 conversion and jag IRS setup on a 'B. Very inspiring stuff.

Bit of track time, perhaps some racing next year, in the meantime, will be kept shiny.

Oh man, how good does that look, that'll be one of the cars I'd have if I won the lotto and money was no object!!!! Well done mate, live the dream!

[PeteG]

Looks terrific. Not like the one I had the displeasure of steering onto a trailer not long ago... could see the floor from any one of six points inside the car...

MGMotorsport took it away November last year, but he's been very busy, so it's taken a while for him to get started, and wait on the paintshop guys.

No sound clips, but i'll see what I can do, it won't tick over particularly well

It's making 207bhp at the moment, although different needles on the carbs could probably increase to 220bhp at the sacrifice of a little 'driveability'

Two days to go!

[thewave]

It's arrived, i'll be taking it for a...erm..."hoon"...this evening, and hopefully get some photo's up tomorrow. Sounds absolutely stunning, plenty of hissing from those carbs'
