This is another one of those cars that make V8 conversions look even easier than they really are.

Congratulations on a job well done to Alex & family!

Nice! I like the Brtitsh V8 sticker in the window. ;-) Also, Alex, you didn't spend a gazillion hours restoring it to such an extraordinary piece that you're afraid to drive it. Good job!

Alex got his driver’s license a week before the Omaha Brit V8 Meet and he and his high school buddy were part of our convoy from Sidney, Illinois to Omaha –how cool is that to turn 16 and have an extended road trip in an MGB V8 with a buddy.
Kinda makes me wish I was 16 again..!
