Hi, thought i'd get this one underway. Who's got any nice photo's of MG's?
Mine's at MGMotorsport at the moment, but kind of hoping it will look like this (with Minilites though)


Without racing spots? What's the opinion please?

Wow, that is gorgeous!

Here are mine:

'65 MGB roadster (with a 1950cc xflow engine):


'74 MGB GT V8 (unmodified)


I am seriously considering removing the bumpers on the '65 and install Sebring valences, and possibly paint the wire wheels black.

Don't like sebring valences on roadsters. Just a personal thing, but it doesn't do it any favours. GTs on the other hand.... mmmm, mmmm.

Can't post pictures (works PC thing), but it's primrose yellow, black leather interior and minilites. Just looks clean and classic, but hides a stage 2 engine.

Well... my B-GT had to make way for a more sensible family car. Maybe not a classic yet, but as one of fewer than 30 Mk1 V8 tourers made, and definitely the only one in this colour, I reckon it's a safe bet for being a future classic MG!



Apologies for the brake dust encrusted wheels! boxedin

Nice motors, that V8 tourer actually looks very nice.

I'd love a nice V8 B Roadster one day, but the CGT was my fathers' and had sat in the garage for 25+ years (in bits). I never remember it working, just sitting in it under dust sheets as a child and pretending to drive it. Come March, I will be!

Definitely keep the spots in my opinion, but take a look at the colour of my car before acting on that opinion

I meant more that if you can have it stand out, then do! It's appropriate for the period anyway, so why not?
