Not a V8, but I have to draw your attention to this remarkable re-imagining of the B that's on BaT.

No reserve, and beset by a bunch of squarepants moaners.

"Remarkable"
Nicest mention of it, yet. :)
I like this car. Someone invested a lot of passion, skill, and hard work. It's a shame they're not credited for it in the Bring-a-Trailer write-up.
My first thought is that this might be a Barry Preston / Brooklands car, but it doesn't match other ones I found photos of. (A number of Barry's cars appeared in the old British V8 Newsletter, and particularly in the Canadian Corner column.) I have a hunch the builder of this car was at least familiar with Barry's work.
Did you guys notice the DynaQuip valve on the heelboard behind the driver's seat? Must be a fuel line shutoff, I guess. I don't recall seeing that feature on an MGB before.
Sort of answers the question of "When is an MGB no longer an MGB?" And I think the answer is, when everything possible has been done to eliminate the MGB identity.

Haha yes, but like the TR4 becoming the TR6, the centre section does rather give it away.
Then again, there's a new possibility for C&C.... guess what this car was?....
The MGB windshield will always give it away, Ivor. :)
There were a few other cars that used the MGB windshield...
Jim
Just the windshield or the whole frame? Besides kits cars?
