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

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

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. MGBGTV8

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. MGBGTV8

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. Costello
