[1962]

I was looking at an MGBR yesterday with it's bumpers off. Does it have Porshe 911 headlights ?

That's not an MGBR, that's an MG RV8.

Yes and it's an MGB RV8 (Rover V8)

It's an MG RV8
It's not a 'B' and is significantly different!

Pedant alert however you are of course correct!

Never mind I seem to be the only one who has bothered to answer the chaps question.

Surprisingly, the pedants overlooked the apostrophe misuse.

Indeed, and the misspelling of Porsche but all I wanted to do was answer the chap's question.

When I was working in Longbridge in the late eighties before it's launch, they were known as the MGBR. The bodies were sat up on a carrier but very few worked on during the time I was there.

Getting back to the original question, yes, they were 911 headlights, and Bentley tail lights.

Both also used on the TX1 London Taxi, I believe.

And that ropey old MG may have used the TX1 suspension in return ! ( still better than
The crapy old lever arm shocks my old mgb gt rust bucket had).
