That's one British V8 that would never be driven across the country for a V8 meet, you wouldn't be able to walk when you got out! What I refer to as a cartoon car, neat to look at, but completely impractical to really drive. I'll take the Roadmaster over that one any day.

With those tubs out back, I think you'd have to fill the tank after a 1/4 mile or so. You could stretch your legs then.

Posted on the MG Experience board earlier.

Here's an MGB that's been around for many years with a big block Chev and driven regularly on the street. It now has a much bigger engine built by Scott Shafiroff Race Engines.

Even so, 12" of leg room is a lot to give up. Check out the pedals.
