Re: Cosworth powered MGB

It's not my cup of tea frankly, but it is a serious 'stealth' machine. Just imagine the fun you could have blowing away the rice burners and nouveaux riche with their jumped up skinny tyred 4X4's...

But I fear it will not sell at that or anything near that, price....

Re: Cosworth powered MGB

Keith,
I think you are right. I have a very modified MGB with lots of tricks and it's valued at £13K but if I were to sell it I'd be reconning on more like £8K or £9K. If i were to spend £17K I would personally spend it on something else. Just my opinion.

Re: Cosworth powered MGB

I thought about doing something like this to an MGA but sold the car instead. This was very nicely done and I'm sure is a blast to drive.
