The MGB was originally launched in 1962 and can be described as the world?s most successful sports car with over half a million examples being produced through 1980. For 1975, the MGB Roadster returned with some minor cosmetic changes. The sporty GT hatchback version was discontinued for the US market, but was still rolling off the assembly line in Abingdon, England. New style front and rear rubber bumpers with a higher ride height were implemented to comply with tougher US bumper impact restrictions. In addition, to offset the ride height, and stabilize driving characteristics, the factory added a rear sway bar. The reliable 1800 CC engine was retained but performance was restricted with the addition of more pollution equipment and a signal carburetor. Which brings us the this special MGB Roadster, affectionately nicknamed ?Killer B? ? Killer, of course referring the modified driveline. In 1975, one could order a MGB or its GT coupe counterpart with a factory 3.5 liter, 135 hp all aluminum V8. This option was available in the UK only and changed the driving and performance dynamics of the little car dramatically.
This stunning black MGB Roadster has been modified with a Buick 215 cid (3.5 litre) V8, utilizing all factory production components. The engine has been bored, the compression has been increased and the heads and intake ported. Other mechanical upgrades include a 5-speed transmission, MGC (Factory 6 cylinder) higher gear ratio axle and chrome Dayton 15? wire wheels. To improve road ability, the factory lever style shocks have been replaced with conventional shock absorber, aftermarket Addco front and rear sway bars were added and cross-drilled rotors have been retrofitted. The feel and performance is perky and crisp, very similar to that of an original V8 Sunbeam Tiger or that of a SP 250 Daimler. Nothing spells fun and excitement more that an open sports car with power and superb handling. This MGB Roadster has it all.
