1967 MGB V8 Roadster
Chassis number: GHN3-119732
Registration Number: NLH271E
A no expense spared restoration & upgrade to full 220HP V8 specification. The technical list of modifications makes for great reading & makes you realise how well this conversion has been done. The result is a seriously fast car with handling & brakes to match.
The car is finished with beautiful paintwork in red set off by a set of knock off chrome wire wheels. To the interior are half leather/ half velour seats along with black carpets. A brand new hood was also fitted.
Under the bonnet the blueprinted engine is immaculately presented & beautifully installed. A full set of instructions come with the car for engine removal etc should it be ever required. The installation really is a work of are & the best I have ever seen on one of these.
Literally everything that could be done to this car has been done. It is a joy to drive & frankly brings out the inner hooligan in one from the rasping exhaust note. Lots of fun & a nasty shock for other drivers from this wolf in sheeps clothing with the only real clues being a slight bulge & a set of louvres to the bonnet.
