MGB Roadster (1974). Click to view full imageThe car was first registered in 1974. I acquired the car from the wife of a friend in 1978 as she had trouble steering it and wanted a car with power steering. In 1984 the car was completely renovated by Elvy Restoration of Kent, England and the original color changed from Burnt Orange to British Racing Green. This was the color of my first MGB, which was a 1967 model. I had the engine modified in 1992 by Osilli Engineering of Oxford, England. It was upgraded from the original 1800cc to around 2100cc. The original exhaust manifold was changed to a performance manifold and the piston cylinders re-bored. The ignition system was changed over to Lumenition Optronic Ignition and the carburetor changed from the original SU Butec to a twin-choke 45DCOE Weber. The car is used on a daily basis.
