1971 MGB GT V8 EFI For Sale

Buying an MGB is all about the shell and this one is superb; very straight, good panel gaps and shut lines and Ziebarted from new. The builder, a mechanic and ex-apprentice at an MG garage was amazed at how good the shell was; the best he had ever seen. Once he had removed the thick wax that had been copiously applied he could see that hardly any repairs would be needed. The shell was stripped to bare metal and resprayed.

Having a Factory V8 to use as a pattern, he copied it and externally, it is difficult to tell this car from a V8 produced by MG. But that's where the similarity ends. This car will out-perform the standard Factory version in every department as a result of the sophisticated rear suspension which eliminates roll over steer, gives a much more pleasant ride and of course the improved performance of the fuel injection engine. The superb Frontline caster correction kit eliminates the weighting up of the steering mid-corner and vastly improves sensitivity with finger tip control rather than heaving it round with tired muscles.

This is a true Gran Turismo capable of travelling serious distances in comfort and quietness; ideal for continental holidays.

The car which has done no more than four thousand miles since its conversion has not been over restored and retains much of its originality, the all important patina and integrity; the only concession being new carpets. Most of the mechanical components are new and to V8 specification.

The freshly rebuilt 3. 5 litre engine has covered less than four thousand miles since being put together and fitted with 3. 9 heads and cam along with the Lucas 14cux hotwire fuel injection system.

A bespoke chipped ecu supplied and fitted by Tornado Systems has made a big difference to the driving experience and has added 30bhp @ 5000 rpm over the standard ecu.
