This one is a standard 2.0 un molested. (to slow me down)
however................................I am going to look at a very very quick V8 convertible one on wednesday(nice track toy)
Watch this space.
I really fancy an MGC, with sorted suspension, brakes, triple carbs and 200BHP... on Minilites of course! Company down south, MG Motorsport... if I ever get rid of the MINI....

Sorry
Ian, I'll see your Rover V8 (a fine wee motor) and raise you a Blown and Nitrous'd Big Block Chevy!
... or as an alternative to the V8s, a nice tuned straight 6 like a Big Healey (or MGC)

I have bought it, but im currently offshore, cant wait to collect it.
It was built from a new shell by a friend of mine but he never finished it as he had a few other projects too,
it was then sold to the current owner, he finished it and has done less than 2000 miles in it as he has been working overseas and the caar was in storage.
When Hugh (first owner) started the build he gusseted the rear suspension pick up points for strength and moved the bulkhead to get the engine further back for better handling. it has Bilstein suspension all round, four pot callipers big valve heads and a mean cam too with a Holley to pump it full of expensive gogo juice.
I will keep you posted.
(ps not seen your video yet) will watch it when i get back onshore tonight.
