Is that the UK car that was in MG World some time back? Beautiful conversion and I think it's up for sale.

Absolutely! I can't remember what the asking price was. I'll have to dig out the magazine to get the story on it again.

I just added another beautiful car!

"John Hubbard's 1957 MGA with Rover 3.9L Aluminum V8 Engine"

Here's the link: [www.britishv8.org]

I didn't find contact info for John Hubbard... (someone just sent me the photos).

If anyone can get me in touch with him, I'd be very happy to add additional photos and a proper "How It Was Done" write-up.

Ahh....Nice eye candy Curtis - my sweet tooth aches. Love the B/R engines for the mg but, that Cosworth just looks cool and screaming up to 7,000+ rpm has got be addicting!

The Cosworth MGB is featured in the December issue of MG Enthusiast magazine. It is up for sale but no price listed in the article.

Here's tonight's addition to the gallery!

Jack Pease's MGB 5.0, as built by Pete Mantell:
[www.britishv8.org]

The gallery page includes lots of great construction photos... I'll come back very soon and add captions.

A "How It Was Done" write-up is planned for the December newsletter issue.
