MGBGTV8
Conversions
The variety of V8 Conversions is extraordinary in terms of interior
trim and equipment specification. They are built to order by
a number of V8 specialists in the UK and overseas, and of course
by many V8 enthusiasts for their own use. Profile

V8
Roadster Conversions
The availability of new MGB bodyshells from the BMH body plant
at Faringdon in Berkshire (now at Witney in Oxfordshire) has
encouraged many V8 enthusiasts to build an MGBV8 Conversion
- particularly V8 Roadsters which have become the fastest growing
part of the V8 Register. Profile

MGBGTV8
rubber bumper
The rubber bumpered MGBGTV8 appeared from late 1974 - a modification
that was necessary across the MG sports car range to meet front
impact requirements. The V8 in both chrome or rubber bumpers
has an effortless performance with a modest but purposeful exhaust
note. Profile |

MGBGTV8
chrome bumper
Launched in August 1973, the V8 powered MGB produced by the
Abingdon Factory was a remarkable, low budget project which
combined the popular fixed head coupe body style with a powerful
three and half litre light alloy V8 engine. It is now an established
classic sports car. Profile |

Costello
V8 MGB Roadster & MGBGT
Ken Costello began supplying his conversions which squeezed
a V8 into MGB Roadster and MGBGT shells from 1970. He eventually
converted over 200. The early cars have the distinctive Costello
power bulge in the bonnet. An imaginative package ahead of its
time. Profile
