MGB-GT Down South

 

From Greg Phillips in Apalachicola, Fl. "More Southern metal.  This was taken completely apart and reassembled by a retired attorney whom I met recently.  The engine has been bored and has a supercharger.  Horsepower is 180.  Cabin is soundproofed and beautifully upholstered.  He said it cruises great at 80 mph.  I learned how to drive in a '65 B and that performance would be unheard of in a stock B.  The  hp increase without adding appreciable weight is remarkable."

AL: Here's an MGB-GT AL met in the Netherlands a while back. And here's an MGB in NH And a whole passel of MG's.  Then there's the "white sports car" referenced in this Peter Behrens short story, The Smell of Smoke, which was, truth be told, a 1964 MGB.
