I'm not sure whether BMH have 'joined forces'. This link
http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2011/06/british-tuner-frontline-to-build-an-mgb-with-mazda-mx-5-motor.html
talks about Frontline building a Mazda-powered MGB which happens to be using
shells from BMH, which isn't the same thing, and I can't see anything
immediately on the BMH site. The article includes the $80k price, but
doesn't mention anything about it being a GT. A GT is shown with the text,
but saying it is just a file photo i.e. not from the builder and my first
thought was 'why a GT and not a roadster?'. It also says 240bhp rather than
210.
Their comment "Frontline wants to bring you the old with a some new
technology, so you can enjoy your classic on the road, rather than it
steaming on the hard shoulder.
"Frontline will be dumping the miserable, old four-cylinder of the original
MGB..."
should really win the hearts of MG owners.
I'll believe it when I see it.
