Here's a list of pictures you can see from here :
Chrome Roadster
Bright Red MGB
- Viewed from the opposite side, hood down.
- A similar view to that of the Watkin's MGB.
- The engine is a highly modified Rover 4.8 liter V8, brakes are upgraded to vented V8 discs and calipers. The suspension is lowered 2", Spak conversion shocks have been added, heavy duty stablizer bars, 16" Panasport wheels with highperformance 245/45 A032 tires. This car is VERY fast and is VERY fun to run on road courses.

- Danish car fully restored, took 1st. prize at the Silverstone International Weekend in 1995
- Just completed a two year ground-up restoration, in Australia
- from Blackforest, Germany, restored in 1991. The only changes to the original spec are koni telescopic dampers and a lead-free head its dashboard
- It is a before/after picture. The restoration took 2 years.
- I own a 1963 MGB mk1 with the old style pullout door handles and three bearing crank motor its a pretty early model in Australia being no 1550. I decided to put another motor in it for now until I can afford to rebuild the original motor.i So I've fitted a Mitsubishi station motor to it which doesn't require any modifying to the bodyshell to fit just engine mounts to be relocated and the gearbox which is a 5-speed fits in the early tunnel with no panel-beating and even lines up with the shifter hole and crossmember. As I said before the bodyshell is untouched and I use this motor for racing purposes so I can preserve my old motor, plus its a bit different.
- Early Australian built MGB Mk1 pull-handle in Tasmania following 14 year restoration. It is the 54th B manufactured from CKD kits in Sydney.
- '63 Roadster originally sold in California. Restored in Sweden some years ago where it lived in Reftele Motor Museum until the museum went bust. I bought it in 1998 and had to replace the engine as the main bearings in the three bearing engine were worn out. The original engine is now being rebuilt. Meanwhile a Gold Seal engine and a full synchro 'box makes it a real pleasure to drive.
- black 1964 with red interior (photo from the rear)
- The hard top is the only kind in the state of South Australia, it was custom made out of fibreglass.
- Engine bay with 2-litre-engine, built by Brown & Gammons in 1982. 106 bhp at the rear wheels are good for 120 mph. alongside his MGC

It has some '64 parts like the doors with pull out type door handles with the pin and notch striker plates identical the parts used on the MGA. It also has the smaller round fuel tank that is hung by two metal straps.
But the real puzzler are the seats? 1969 seats with diaphragms, reclining backs and dual post headrest. A 9 inches tall rectangular headrest called "Chiclets" for their shape, they go down in the two upright post in the seat back.- In the background you'll see typical Norwegian mountains with snow.

- I am the second owner of this 1965 MGB which was ordered and purchased in England by a local physician during his internship in your country. He had it shipped to the USA upon his completion and sold it to me in 1999. I spent 11 months restoring it to as close to original as possible with the exception of the roll bar, stereo and the addition of a well deserved overdrive. My wife and I drive the car quite frequently during the summer months. They are a pleasure to own, work on and drive.

- Purchased in 1983 from the original owner in the original dealer city, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Driven daily until ground-up restore in 1991. Driven daily, about 60 miles every day before and since restoration. Original color was Teal.

This is my only automobile.

- Paul Hunt writes "A number of people have queried just what Black Tulip and Aconite look like and how they differ. By an amazing coincidence there was an Aconite RB roadster on one of the small (about 20 cars) organised runs I attended and the owner happened to park right next to my Black Tulip CB roadster. The picture is a scan of a print of a slide and I had to tweak the contrast and brightness a little, but it makes an interesting comparison."
- I actually combined two '74 B's to get one very nice one. I knew nothing about working on cars before I bought this project in 1988. I've now had almost every major component of the car apart, and have been able to somehow manage to get things back together and keep her running. I just added an overdrive transmission in October '96.
- I am the original owner, having bought this car new in 1975 only days after obtaining my drivers license. In 1984 I converted it from Rubber Bumpers to chrome bumpers and added the Panasport wheels. It was recently fully restored and has 107,000 miles on the odometer.
- The car was built in Aug 1990 (limited edition), but first registered in October 1981. The car underwent a chrome bumper conversion in 1995, which included a spax and sports handling set up. The original colour (red) was then changed to Rover Britsh Racing Green. The engine is now 1866cc, with fast cam, flowed mainifold and bomb exhaust. Also added is a leather interior and the bolt on wire wheels.

- Purchased new in 1975 by a dealer in San Jose, CA. In about 1984, my grandfather was gracefully gliding down the Gustine roads in California when the oil pump decided to give up the ghost. That took this machine off the road for a near 20 years and tore up the engine pretty badly. When we moved to New Mexico in 1986, it was placed in our back yard with a cover. In '02, we finally decided to pull it out and have a good friend, Bill Hatton, rebuild the engine in his shop--just outside of Grants, NM. It now runs as good, if not better, than it did when new. Outside of a few little parts, this vehicle is all original. My grandparents and I can once again experience the unbeatable charm of the British automobile--the MG.

- Tahiti Blue purchased in Prescott, Arizona June 2003. It's a true desert car. The paint is even original. The car was stored for 10 plus years by the original family that purchased the car from new. I changed all fluids, replaced the carburetor, the interior, top and all hydraulics and now it runs great and is back on the road. One interesting note: When I bought the car, it still had the original interior. Since the interior was well past it's prime, I ripped it out. That's when I discovered it had a mirror lens still in it's wrapper and also rivets from the Abingdon assembly line still under the seat!

- This particular MGB GT was a US one with the registration California 435 FBX. As far as I know it was built in November 1970, ochre with black upholstery, first sold in the USA in 1972. It came into my possession on 15 February 1996. At that time it was white, with grey covers over the seats and wire wheels. The last American owner was Mr. Steven Arthur Byrum, 620 Lake Apopka Plaza, San Diego, California 92119. During the first half of 1996 I refurbished the car with the help of Mr. Paul Weise, had it resprayed BRG (colornr Rover 029) and replaced the original honeycomb grill by a chrome one. In the Netherlands the car is registered as DM-14-10. In the meantime I have traveled about 8,000 miles in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. Without any technical failure on the road!

- I purchased the car on May 2nd 1990 and finished restoring it in August 2000, which had been imported from California in February 1990. The engine, gearbox and differential gear were and still are fine. The rest has been totaly dismanteled and fully overhauled. Revised callipers, new master cyl for brakes and clutch, new slave cyl rear brakes, overhauled clutch slave cyl. Overhauled the carburettors, renewed the carpets and seats including webbings, foam and covers. Replaced all bullet connectors and fuse box, overhauled fuel pump. The car has been resprayed with 4 layers of paint. The car has been kept as far as possible original, although it has been defederalized. Evaporate loss system still is present.

The interior is relatively new autumn leaf, and the exterior color is mirage.

The guys who did the V8 conversion used a single Weber 38 carb....goes like stink with pretty good mpg too!
