Ran into the local British car guru at work a few weeks ago (Ted Schumacher of TS Imported Auto). He had a sweet MGB V8 Roadster in for some work. Not available from the factory like this ( a limited number of V8 MGBGTs (coupes) were sold, but not ragtops.
Nice 3.5 liter aluminum block Rover motor with a cam, four barrel, aluminum intake and headers. Basically 300 hp in a go cart. Said I had seen many of these over the years but never ridden in one. "Jump in!", I was told...
He didn't have to ask twice!
