Nice, had a victor almost identical to the one in that pic. Never really liked the look of those viva wagons though.

MGB 1.8 with a supercharger and some tweaks will make as much HP as an MGC and weigh less.

There was an old 70´s aftermarket supercharger kit for the MGB, now Moss and Hiflo started selling them again. I went for the Moss Eaton kit, Peter Burgess Head, and a S/C specific camshaft - hoping to get same/more than an MGC at the rear wheels. They sound pretty nice too - few vids of them on Youtube. 4 Cylinder MG´s and superchargers have been going hand in hand for a long time now.

Rob Brayshaw did some nice work in Palmy in the '90s. Spendy, though.

My mates uncle had a couple of jags and three nice MGBGT,s .He used to let us use them every now and then,we used to get pulled over a fair bit though.I had a green mohawk and my mate had big spiked blue and red hair.I suppose it would look rather dodgy.

You could do a lot with the six, but it was a heavy lump of iron. That's why the V8 was such a great car, the V8 was lighter than the four. Unfortunately it also showed up the chassis weaknesses of the 'B'.

BL really tried hard to make something sporty from solid and reliable iron and it was a real shame they couldn't let the boffins loose due to financial, ahhh.. restraints...

Triumph had a better go with the TR's and Spitfire's, particularly in being able to do something about the rear suspension on the Spit's, although the Stag's V8 was more complicated than it neeed to be.

A pic of my dads old car....30 years later hes still spewing he didnt hold onto it.



Anyone seen one of these? Just how rare are they? Afraid I know even less about cars than I do about bikes (ie, not much )

[EJK]

Is that a BMW? Something like 1930's 315-335? If so, they are one of the earliest BMWs and heck yeah, rare.
