Never noticed this chick's videos before today... but apparently she has been around for years... Have an MG Midget with Buick V8... best part is the smooth engine...
Been waiting for this video Jodie 🎉. As an ex MG mechanic I was smiling for ear to ear ! Although the later MG'S . Maestro, Montego metro etc . Such an amazing brand !! They Stir the Soul and Inspire Memories❤
I discovered you're channel recently Jodi and I'm absolutely loving your content. Your a natural on camera and the quality of your videos are brilliant. Thanks Jodi for creating amazing automotive content. All the best from Dan.
wow what a car excellent great to see an old car new and with lots of power also it put a smille on your face when you see the on the road well done kid in a sweet shop
99.9% of people will never be able to afford one of these, so we'll keep on buying cheap crap that you can buy straight from a dealer instead of waiting months or years for a bespoke one of these, as nice as they are.
Lordy, I bet this is a really really good steer. Fantastic fun in such a useable pretty package. Oh to have unlimited resources and just build what you fancy. The design and engineering on show here looks very impressive and properly resolved, top work and British too!
Hi Jodie that was great loved it. The way you loved the car would you buy one? As I would if I had the money without a doubt as it great cars like this exist in the first place.
Incredible With a lottery win I'd have a V8 for proper motoring and an electric version for everyday use. Love the attention to detail, the electric window solution, brilliant Great video about a company making a classic into a modern (extremely) desirable classic
The MGB already has a rover V8 and if that's not enough the RV8 also has a guess what? I do like this one with all the leather and the potdntial for reliability but you tend to fall in love with the original.
No, Brits got the narrow 1950 Buick 215... 1961 Oldsmobile 215 version too wide for most small British cars... wish video had more info on the engine and less flippant chitchat...
she was never going to last. too reliant on others to film and edit, and lets be honest shes only doing it to promote stuff for money. you need a much stronger work ethic to succeed at You Tube.
To be honest although it is obviously superbly engineered, for me most of choices for the appearance of both the exterior and interior did nothing for me at all 😱
Even though is has a V8 engine, it's not going to stop the bodywork from rusting which MGs are notorious for. Serious issues with that car by having stereo system controls in a centre console meaning you have to take your eyes off the road. Also no head rests on the seats which could result in serious whiplash injury if another vehicle crashes into the rear at speed.
6:15 - Yeah, Jodie, that's not even close to the biggest. There's some Rover/Leyland V8 equipped versions, where the stock 4.4 litre version of the motor from a Leyland P76 has been bored and stroked past 5.5 litres before being dropped in. IIRC the wildest is the ex Dr Mort Fitzgerald MG based racecar, somewhere close to 6 litres was one number I heard - Mort used to pull over going through 'Siberia' at the Phillip Island Grand Prix track and let the entire field of MG's pass, then chase down them all for the win, in a ten lap race,... If you can find footage of it racing, the thing is an animal, giant wing, splitter, ducting through bodywork for cooling and brakes. This one you're riding in look much more suited to the road, commending the choice of wheels that look 'right' for the vehicles age, not some garish modern JDM rims that wouldn't suit.
@@buzzwaldron6195 The question was about how big the Rover V8 gets, not what else can be shoe-horned in. I mean, if you're gonna swap in to an MG, it's gotta be a DGV.

A new MGB with V8 grunt, what's not to like! Superb thanks Jodie ❤
What's not to like? The black wheels and the lack of bumpers
@@robertcook2572 Not to mention the driver's door shutlines ! Why wouldn't you simply buy an Aston Martin ?
The cost...but its wonderful!
Never noticed this chick's videos before today... but apparently she has been around for years...
Have an MG Midget with Buick V8... best part is the smooth engine...
@@Birashanuman Because they dont want one, they want this
Every Car Guy has a story, please keep this format. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. salute to Frontline and the brains behind the company.
I really like that almost every component is British. The attention to detail and standard of finish is superb.
Except the Buick engine...
And the Morel audio brand which he said was English, is an Israeli/American brand!
Tim's a really good guy, he's put his heart & soul into that business. He deserves the attention his cars are getting.🙂👍
Great restomod, thanks for bringing us this video, Jodie.
Wow, what a beautiful execution of such an iconic car!
So glad you kept the Marina parts-bin interior door handles!
Been waiting for this video Jodie 🎉. As an ex MG mechanic I was smiling for ear to ear ! Although the later MG'S . Maestro, Montego metro etc .
Such an amazing brand !!
They Stir the Soul and Inspire Memories❤
Awesome. Amazing how MG's STILL surprise us when the right people are involved in a build.
I always love your joyful enthusiasm Jodie.
What a beautiful "B". Mines a little rough around the edges comparatively (custom chassis/suspension, SBC 400+hp, 4-spped), V8 MGBs are BIG FUN!
What a car, old school classic with a modern twist.
A truly beautiful machine!...sounds awesome!...❤️

I have to hit the like button before I've even watched the video, because I know it's going to be great. Especially with the V8.
That's what you call a jem of a beautiful 😍 ❤ car love it all together
I am in love. Proper British Beef. Amazing. Now I just need to work hard and get one!
Lovely. I enjoyed my old MGBGT, but that's amazing
I'd love to have that over here on the German Autobahns! Mega!
Absolutely superb Jodie love these cars, and then you put in a monster v8.😊
What an amazing car. Frontline really make some impressive restomods
wow what a car excellent great to see an old car new and with lots of power
also it put a smille on your face when you see the on the road
well done kid in a sweet shop
My word, that car is amazing.
Wow Jody, what a weapon!! The sound was amazing! Many thanks for posting, cheers, John.
Thanks again for another great video. Beautiful car, but I would miss head rests.
I love the vibe here, very nice. Contagious enthusiasm. :)
Insane whip. looks as good as it sounds. Retro Metro....Love this. Special Special Special...
Omg I used to follow you for years in your modelling career! How cool that you've got a Car channel! 😍 so nice to see you on here ❤
We need more cars like this, we can't compete with China on cheap crap, but we can compete on pure quality and class.
The word China actually means cheap crap.
99.9% of people will never be able to afford one of these, so we'll keep on buying cheap crap that you can buy straight from a dealer instead of waiting months or years for a bespoke one of these, as nice as they are.
Really great job on making that V8 MGB. 👍😎👍
What an attractive motor!
There's nothing better than seeing the driver of a car radiating happiness 😊
Lordy, I bet this is a really really good steer. Fantastic fun in such a useable pretty package. Oh to have unlimited resources and just build what you fancy. The design and engineering on show here looks very impressive and properly resolved, top work and British too!
Fantastic sound that is what a car should sound
Hi Jodie that was great loved it. The way you loved the car would you buy one? As I would if I had the money without a doubt as it great cars like this exist in the first place.
Great piece of engineering, fit finish, sounds and looks the business. Well done to all involved
What a fabulous car Abbey is- love it
Thanks 🙏
Some classic cars get better with age and some simple modifications. Truly stunning car
Incredible With a lottery win I'd have a V8 for proper motoring and an electric version for everyday use. Love the attention to detail, the electric window solution, brilliant
Great video about a company making a classic into a modern (extremely) desirable classic
Lovely to see people doing these unique builds.... maybe making it back to a 2+ slightly more practical. either way lovely car!
Beautiful job! Trimmed somewhat like an XK-E, the paint brings to mind the '68 E-Type I had.
the front end shape kind of reminds me of a BMW Z8. very sleek slope
I wish these were available in the US as my first car was a MGB-GT but I understand it is difficult to import them.
Easy to build one in USA...
Magnificent car .
Engine sounds lovely when pushed, I hope someone specs a track version.
Brilliant car, now I know what to spend my lottery winnings on.
Have always been a Triumph fan rather than MGs but I would love one like that .
Great just shows what we can still do
It’s magnificent!
Thats a very nice tight but reserved english v8 sound, love iit x
Stunning machines. FYI Morel Audio are not a UK company.
Great stuff, keep the hammer down!
THAT is a car. I suspect it's big money but what an absolute beauty. I'm going to investigate immediately!
Yes, I've just seen the price. Another dream crushed.
@@simonjarratt Do share!
@@skyak4493 £211k (UK)
Well it certainly ant cheep, but looks stunning @@simonjarratt
@@simonjarratt please tell us the ball park figure
I have had a real the for the MG C GT ever since I saw one as a kid. Long term plan to get a project and sort it.
Great RESTOMOD of the MGB GT V8 . I am not english . i have not understood where the V8 come from and the power ??? Anyway , GREAT WORK .
Lots of American hot rodders did Sunbeam v-8 conversions in the late 60's early 70's. "Sportscar? Not yet it isn't" they said.
Beautiful car!
This car redefines the word "unassuming".
Perfect for a run in the country
That is fun!
Nice job! What a project but couldn’t you have updated the seats? Headrests should be a no brainer in a restomod. 😅
Mechanically superb and would be great to pilot. However, the back floor reminded me of a Hearse and the roof lining looks wrong imo! Sorry guys!
When I was a kid my sisters had a friend that had a MG with a Corbett engine in it.
Where have you gone Jodie?
In terms of size there is certainly at least one MGB with a jaguar v12 squeezed under the bonnet 😁
The MGB already has a rover V8 and if that's not enough the RV8 also has a guess what? I do like this one with all the leather and the potdntial for reliability but you tend to fall in love with the original.
I think this is a just a bored out Rover V8 .A bit long in the tooth as originally the Rover V8 was a 1963 Oldsmobile 215 cuin motor .
Believe me. To get 375 road tractable bhp out of an RV8 it isn't "Just a bored out Rover" I would love to know who the engine builder is. Maybe JE?
The standard MGB V8 was pretty fast with the rover 3.5 which was originally a Oldsmobile 215 cuin .This looks like a punched out Rover V8
No, Brits got the narrow 1950 Buick 215... 1961 Oldsmobile 215 version too wide for most small British cars... wish video had more info on the engine and less flippant chitchat...
What is source of powertrain?
Wow what a beastie😊
Come on Jodie high time for another video,or is your pub keeping you too busy?!!
So Jodie , have you bought one?
Much better than the EV converted abominations.
Never mind about the upholstery, driving comfort and twaddle from the occupants, SHOW ME THE BLOODY ENGINE,
That's right. The car is about the engine but we barely get to see it.
Yes please 😁
Nice old Newcastle Registration.
Where can I buy one in Canada?
Absolutely stunning but is it just me or does looking in the boot look like they have just dropped off an unfortunate soul at the local crematorium?
@KiddinaSweetShop We need more of you here! RUclips sure is bland without you. ^__-
Hey jodie hope ur still making the videos great car thanku for amazing content
she was never going to last. too reliant on others to film and edit, and lets be honest shes only doing it to promote stuff for money. you need a much stronger work ethic to succeed at You Tube.
Cool.... definitely not unassuming though. I'd take one look and know it's gonna eat me for breakfast 😎
To be honest although it is obviously superbly engineered, for me most of choices for the appearance of both the exterior and interior did nothing for me at all 😱
Awesome
Think I might buy a lottery ticket
😀
The Dunlop alloy wheels are lovely, but not in gloss black. The detail is completely lost. Silver, or at a push, gunmetal.
Jodieee 💕
These are well bred folk ,here in Doncaster we only discovered the wheel 🛞 😅
A great modern resto of an old British classic. However, I’m not a fan of the hearse-like rear compartment.
Oh no, not again! My "have to have one now" list just got longer.
Re: big engine, there's a 632ci/1000hp MGB in the North East USA (it's an Animal) street car
Kidd in a sweet shop content please as its been over 7 months now and nothing
YES!!!
Nice🎉❤
I❤ this 🚗
lol 😂 looks like a hearse in the back!
yes that bit is awfull

Beyond that is the all aluminum 7L Corvette V8s with similar external dimensions...
@@buzzwaldron6195 The question was about how big the Rover V8 gets, not what else can be shoe-horned in.
I mean, if you're gonna swap in to an MG, it's gotta be a DGV.
Could do with headrest as invent of a crash .
No headrests. :/
Looks like a hearse!
Where have you gone?
