Blue 3074 (GHD4156757G) is an MGBGTV8 conversion in "Ecurie
Ecosse" blue built from scratch using a new Heritage shell
to a "super-sports" configuration. Less than 14.500 documented
miles from new. This V8 was built in 2003/2004 to a very high standard.
It has been registered in Germany since July 2004 as a 1968 MGBGT
and the original British registration documents are also available.
The idea behind this project was to combine the look of a very early
MGBGT with today's performance - ready for everyday use.
The engine is a 4.6 Stage 2 Rover V8 new build by RPI Engineering.
It is fitted with a Weber carburettor and an Offenhauser twin plane
manifold and a Mallory dual-point distributor. Gearbox is a new
Rover R380 five speed unit with a standard V8 rear axle. Exhaust
is a performance stainless steel system from Clive Wheatley (sounds
a bit like a TVR) with tubular manifolds. The brakes have Wilwood
calipers and vented drilled discs and the hoses are stainless steel.
Car was clocked at 237 Km/h (148 mph) at the racetrack. Never any
overheating problems as the cooling system has been uprated and
two Kenlowe fans fitted. Rear axle has fibre glass leaf springs,
AVO telescopic shock absorber and RV8

anti tramp bars are
also fitted. It has 72 spokes Dayton wire wheels with 195/65 R 15
Pirelli tyres.
The car has a handmade tan leather interior with an Alcantara roof.
An original MGB LE leather steering wheel is fitted over a 1978 dashboard
with a Speedwell V8 rev-counter. All wiring is totally new, 100 %
Lucas parts free and with 8 relays and 16 fuses which is a little
safer than the original. The car is RHD. More than £35.000 has
been spent on parts (85% of all used parts where NoS) and labour -
too many details to list.
This is one of the best MGBGTV8s ever built with great attention to
detail and a stunning performance. The engine bay is something to
be very proud of. Asking price £16,500 ovno (14.12.05)
Car is located in
Germany, near Dresden / Berlin.
