Excellent driving of my favourite V8; I enjoyed the video, especially the short hackle with the Targa at the 7 min mark. Would love to see more especially a video showing the car itself and hearing its specifications. Best regards from Harry an amiable fan of MG B GT V8's
Hi Harry, yes the V8 is fantastic, its already my second one, I have this one now for 5 years. The engine has Sd1 heads, tubular manifolds, factory Hif carbs, and delivers some 165 HP. As I havn't opened the engine yet, I don't know if the previous owners tuned the engine. Front suspension has stock Armstrongs with lower springs and an 7/8 ARB, the rear has Konis wit uprated leaf springs and a panhard rod. Wheels are 5,5x15 from JBW with road Dunlops 185/65x15. I really love it and I have a lot of fun with. There are more videos on youtube under GUYKONZ. Guy
Great vid. I did this circuit in my Flamenco Red V8 with louvered bonnet (though it was my car!) Would be great to see images of your V8 and spec? Bw C
That's getting it! I'd be afraid to drive that beast. Happy w my 1800cc '74B
Guy, Great drive, Fantastic car. Merci beaucoup :)
What a fantastic machine!!!
getdusty1, with the acceleration you were doing and the speeds your engine must be developing 325-350 hp!
The louvres beautiful
BEAST MODE the MG V8!
