1973 70s seventies yellow MG B GT V8 3528cc 2dr petrol coupe en-route to Capesthorne Hall classic May car show, Cheshire, UK
The 1960’s saw the birth of the iconic MGB in roadster and the MGB GT in coupe form for the first time and both cars were a resounding success for the company. By the late Sixties with the decline of the ‘Big Healy’s’ MG needed to fill the gap and did with the MGC to a lesser extent with some balance issues and a lumbering straight six engine. The 1970’s saw a more genuine attempt with the MGB GT V8 including Rovers very own V8 engine version giving excellent performance and MGB handling. It is sad to say that MG’s timing was terrible as the 1973 energy crisis was hitting hard and the GT V8 was very much a victim of circumstance and poor marketing. Today the MGB GT V8 is the ideal seventies classic with a sixties vibe to it and is the last of the chrome bumper models available.
