Yesterday I had the opportunity to stop at University Motors. As John Twist
was showing me around, he pointed out a U.S. spec MGB GT V8. Honest! A 1973
model with LHD, etc.
He related that BL sent 8 of them over to the U.S. distributor to see if they
wanted to sell them. The distributor was also handling Jags and TRs - both
considered to be upmarket from MG - and thought the MGB V8 would upset the
pecking order and hurt Jag sales. They declined and sent 7 of the 8 back to
Jolly Old. This one remained here. It is owned by a guy in Ohio.
By the way, John has lots and lots of used parts he needs to clear out, if you
need anything. Mostly MGB and Spridget stuff.
