Announcing: another terrific hot-rod MGB for the photo gallery!
Roger Prentice reports that even in the modest two-barrel version, the classic aluminum 215cid V8 still provides neck-snapping torque and true sportscar performance! (Still, he's getting ready to upgrade to a four barrel.)
In his letter, Roger testified: "It's a great feeling to hammer the throttle and feel the brisk acceleration as we weave through curvy mountain roads. This car is a blast to drive and proof positive that anyone can build or restore their dream car in a little garage behind their house." Can I get an amen, brothers?

Amen from a "little brother"
Nothing like the rush from some horsepower and torque to wake up a LBC. Amen to the little garage also, built mine in a one car garage. |

Another amen. Looks good, I like the blue! I remember building the mark 1 version of my car in a single car garage as well. Turned it into paint booth using plastic sheeting, furnace filters and box fans.
